And yes, while capitalism provides more and better jobs than alternatives, the reality is that one’s attachment to it as a a system can be broken when it is perceived to be overtly unfair or that the game is rigged.

But only if you don't bother to carry the thought out far enough to consider that socialist and communist systems are far more certain to be overtly unfair and rigged to the core than capitalism. After-all their whole reason for being is to socially engineer the outcome.

When people get p*ssed, they don’t give a hoot sometimes. Thats what the American Revolution was about. We left the ambit of England, which was a pretty free and liberal nation at the time because we were p*ssed. We jumped into a system that had never really been tried before.

When a nation becomes too heavily imbalanced between the haves and the has less you risk the same thing. Jumping out of a frying pan into a fire happens all the time.

Better to have some social justice than risk the alternative, IMHO.

parsy, who is happier if his neighbors ain’t starving, cause he don’t have to worry as much about his house.
