In the historically-short span of 200 years, it has brought mankind up out of what used to be a short, miserable lifespan of unspeakable, backbreaking labor, squalor, disease, and tyranny. Is that what you call evil?

Don't pull that crap with me. I know better

READ the bloody post.

UNTRAMMELED.

The sort of "make a buck at any cost, screw your buddy" sort of thing. Unprincipaled , no-hold-barred money-making on the backs of people who cannot defend themselves.

And some American corporations do it. And some people here like it.

And yeah.. I call it evil when it is done that way.

I think you need to check your understanding of the word "capitalism".

There is no other kind. If it is trammeled, then it is not free-market capitalism.

"Trammeled" capitalism = fascism.

Read your history and philosophy, my friend.

Hey, I just found someone else who wants to "reign in" capitalism. Like you, she objects to:

"...an agenda that truly is intent upon turning the clock back on" the New Deal laws that 'saved capitalism' -- laws favoring unions, mandating overtime pay as well as work health and safety standards, and "rein[ing] in uncontrolled economic power" of monopolies," she said.

Who was it? Hillary Clinton.
