I can't speak for anyone else but I can safely say I am not "anti-capitalist". It's the best way.
Innovate. Work hard. Produce. Succeed. These are all things that should not be punished but encouraged.
To suggest that all these investigations (do I really need to list them - it would take all day) are politically motivated commie witch-hunts would require genuine insincerity.
What we create are bubbles. We inflate them, bet against them, rate them, insure them, pop them. When the Ponzi grows too big to fail we bail them out. Then we steal the bailout money.
All this money goes in one direction. The "regulators" and policy makers have relationships with those who create the bubbles.
It doesn't require a master of a level two screen to see what's happening. Derivatives, hedge funds, credit default swaps, and naked shorts do not make a good economic foundation.
The funny thing about a Ponzi scheme is that they are much like Jenga castles. A poke from the side, preferably at the bottom, and they tumble. A little poke in just the right place and it all comes falling down.
Our present path is not sustainable and we must change. I do not advocate replacing capitalism, rather, I wish to see it flourish. In order for that to happen we need to remove the rampant fraudulent plaque clogging our economic veins.
I prefer to see the Jenga castle collapse than our country. If someone brands me a commie for thinking that way, so be it.

“Our present path is not sustainable and we must change. I do not advocate replacing capitalism, rather, I wish to see it flourish. In order for that to happen we need to remove the rampant fraudulent plaque clogging our economic veins. “
We don’t really have capitalism anymore in this country.
We are a socialist/communistic country already!
The “public schools” are a model of communism.
The tax system to pay the debt to the FED, is communism.
The “redistribution of wealth” though the taxes is communism.
The growing debt caused by our fractional reserve system is communism.
This country after the days of McCarthyism, never dared to name what is killing it. And it is most certainly killing the host as the interest on the debt grows, and is already beyond what this nation can pay.
Letting this system default, NOW THAT WOULD BE CAPITALISTIC!!!!!!!!!!!
In fact, I propose, that being against the true return to freedom, of money that has value, is the one who is a commie.
