Capitalism works until it doesn't...then look out!
For capitalism to work, it requires hands off - let the market do its thing approach. Regulation hems it in and it wont work right. Deregulation lets the dark side (massive greed) come out and make a HUGE mess of things.
I have an HMO. it seems to work and we aren't in a health care bailout.
So lets just call capitialism a nice experiment and move onto what educated people know in their hearts is better. A Managed Economy. There will be no poor people and there will be no more Bill Gates. The USA needs to get over that everything is a competition and start co-operating with each other and the world. By doing this (and the democrats are the ONLY ones who can do this now and for the foreseeable future) we will stabilize the markets and have planned and smooth growth for the next century and beyond. The Constitution will stand but a few upgrades should be made to match the times. To unite the states, the governors will become council members under the president. The autonomy of the states will be replaced with the autonomy of the country ('country first'), ALL American workers will be paid from the Treasury and All American companies will pay into the Treasury. The United and Collective States of America will also be paid form the treasury whilst local taxes that states levy will be deposited into the Treasury. The President and the cabinet will be only be open to people with the educational credentials and job experience standards to match the job. These great men and women will oversee the economy and the country.
Democrats! The time is now. Lets take back our country and lead our people to the future. They deserve nothing less than our talents and dedication.
