Capitalism has not served the U.S. economy as well as it could have, U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Friday, saying that the system needed to be improved.

"In America, capitalism is our system, it is our economic system, but it has not served our economy as well as it should," she told a Chatham House event. "So what we want to do is not depart from that, but to improve it."

"You cannot have a system where the success of some springs from the exploitation of the workers and springs from the exploitation of the environment and the rest, and we have to correct that."

"In America, capitalism is our current system, it is our economic system, but it has not served our economy as well as it should, so I am authorizing the destruction of the constitution and making it official that America is now a socialist country", she told a Chatham House event.

...is what she meant to say.

[Bayard]

They have become so insistent on holding power that they will sell the future of their children to socialism in order to hold onto the control they have usurped.

Capitalism works better when the rich can’t buy politicians to give them government contracts.

[EEGator]

Crony capitalism and Fascism are not good, and it’s what America currently is.

[LIConFem]

This from one of the worst crony capitalists in the country.

[Safrguns]

because too many communists in power like YOU pelosi who undermine it!

[WKUHilltopper]

Chi-Com slut.

[dfwgator]

I agree. What we need is Free Enterprise.

“...” said Miss $20,000 refrigerators filled with twenty $10 pints of ice cream.

[RckyRaCoCo]

...with a rich oligarchy class of course.

Someone has to control the little pee-pole.

When, Oh Lord, will her number be up?

[Vermont Lt]

It’s helped her personal economy; her husband has made millions on her insider knowledge.

What a hypocritical see you next Tuesday!

[I-ambush]

To paraphrase Chesterton: It’s not that liberty has been tried and found wanting; it’s that it has been found difficult and seldom tried.

[MGunny]

HA! Well it certainly has served the Democrat party and it’s affiliates very well! . What a comment! Yet, the old hag still gettting the vote out in Kommiefornia!!!!

[DesertRhino]

We haven’t had capitalism in decades.

[MayflowerMadam]

Pelosi sufferd so when it comes to finances.

[Vaquero]

No Nan. Not with you and the rest of liberal/Marxists in congress with their fat thumbs on the scale.

[the OlLine Rebel]

This jackass idiot means CRONY capitalism doesn’t work so well.

[Alas Babylon!]

"You cannot have a system where the success of some springs from the exploitation of the workers and springs from the exploitation of the environment and the rest, and we have to correct that."

Remind me again about Starkist Tuna and the other companies her husband owns?

[the OlLine Rebel]

Yes. We’ve been fascist for a long time, largely thanks to Dems. But they refuse to acknowledge the true meaning of fascism, obfuscating with “racism”.
