"Is capitalism really about the ability of a handful of rich people to manipulate the lives of thousands of other people and walk off with the money? Or is that, somehow, a little bit of a flawed system?" - Newt Gingrich

[Gene Eric]

I have no intention of making an excuse for that idiotic statement. Newt’s made plenty of them.

My issue is with idolizing the manipulation of corporate value as some form of capitalistic virtue.
