Hey, I just found someone else who wants to "reign in" capitalism. Like you, she objects to: Who was it? Hillary Clinton.

How dare you compare me to that corrupt whore? And you know nothing about me.

I believe in capitalism, but in the same way that Teddy Roosevelt did. I HATE Robber Barons and Slave Labour, and I DO think we need labor laws in this country, else we WOULD be running sweatshops full of children just like we did before the turn of the century.

Capitalism is great, if practiced with morality.

Unfortunatly, the moral fiber of this country has been frayed for generations.

Since you like ugly comparisons and name-calling, I will not address you further on this subject.

Capitalism is a word that can mean so many things. Just a little too general for me because anyone, regardless of motive, who seeks, trades in, gathers, spends or deals in it is a capitalist.

I prefer to use the term free enterprize and free market and couple them with morality. Because when you apply free...as in individual liberty and accountability...it necessitates morality. That's what is so galling and insidious about the use of the term free trade ... it is very misleading and disenginuous IMHO, meant to lull people into an acceptance of something that has nothing to do with true freedom.

Just like our Constitutional Republic MUST be coupled with morality in order for it to work for the same reasons.

Best Fregards...and per your profile, copngrats on your 21st anniversary this year. My lovely wife and I celebrated our 25th in April.

I did no such thing. I compared what you wrote about capitalism to what hillary clinton wrote about capitalism and noted the similarities.

If you insist upon taking that observation personally, so be it.

Tia, you are a classy lady with high standards and morals. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people on FR who do not have morals or ethics or standards to guide them in life or in business. To compare what you said to the "Beast" is rather unfortunate to say the least. Keep up the fight!
