Pelosi says capitalism hasn't served US economy 'as well as it should'
Fox Business ^ | 17 September 2021 | Thomas Barrabi

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called Friday for public officials to pursue improvements to traditional capitalism, arguing the current U.S. economic system has led to widespread inequality.

"In America, capitalism is our system, it is our economic system, but it has not served our economy as well as it should," Pelosi said during a virtual event with think tank Chatham House. "And so, what we want to do is not depart from that, but to improve it and to make sure that it serves us."

Pelosi decried a gradual shift in recent decades from the concept of "stakeholder capitalism," which allowed wages for both executives and workers to rise based on productivity, to "shareholder capitalism," ...

she's just blossoming with anti-American sentiment while flitting about the EU. Maybe they can keep her.

Start by restoring the import tariffs that our founding fathers put in place and that served us well for 180 years.

You can’t have all these social programs, and environmental regulations and then compete in “free trade” with countries that don’t have those.

You also can’t compete against communist labor that effectively makes slaves out of their people.

Tax them to sell into our market, the way the founders intended.

She’s trying to say that the proletariat should own the means of production.

Like Marx said.

Fine Nancy, give back all the millions you and your family have ‘earned’ under our system. I know what she did is not really capitalism but capitalism allow her family to get RICH. You can’t be a bank robber without a bank!

Nanzi is the problem , not capitalism. While true Capitalism is unobtainable ( because of people like Nanzi) the closer you get to it the better it gets.

I stopped reading after ‘Pelosi says.’ Anything that creepozoid states is either a lie, evil, or both. There will come a time when the gates of Hell will welcome Pelousy with open flames.

It’s funny how “proletariat” means “government” in Marxist speak.

Now that Democrats have elections rigged. They are not afraid to show the public how they really think.

They have no fear of losing because she knows they steal elections.

The only thing set us back was Nancy and her Democrats with all their tax schemes and regulations.

The U.S. did very well in-spite of her attempts to destroy us.

In talking about the $3.5 trillion in extra spending, Biden read the same thing to reporters. He said that the pandemic gives us the opportunity to reshape the economy into one that works.

The Great Reset is taking place right under our noses.

This bitty knows that regulations, subsidies, taxation, tax codes, and red tape are what is hampering it; but getting rid of that stuff won’t keep her in power.

Capitalism? We don't have it. We have cronyism that would shock Tammany Hall.

Maybe Pelosi and Biden should let us try some.
