"Rebpublicans need to understand that capitalism is complex web of laws and regulations" and further "that capitalism is a government program"

The idea of getting more out of X to make Y (A surplus) has existed longer then government in any of the forms we currently have now in this world includeing tribal forms of government. Just look at the whole drug market. It exists without any government giveaways although government does affect the market like any other.

The idea of getting more out of X to make Y (A surplus) has existed longer then government in any of the forms we currently have now in this world includeing tribal forms of government. Yes, but what does THIS have to do with capitalism. This is an artifact of all economic organizations.
