Move to Canada and get it over with. Capitalism is what makes our country great and I wonder why so many people want to come here..despite your article. If u hate it so much than just leave. Done, finito a word linked to organized crime.

Get real..A lady running for President started out as a secretary. If that isn't capitalism at it's finest i don't know what else is.

And I'm not talking MISS Hillary!

Yet when one needs some good healthcare and have the money feel free to come back to the US where one won't be put on a waiting list for any ailment. Yet in the good Socialist countries one doesn't have many choices and earned their time to wait and wait until one's number is called. That's just great while people die from socialist healthcare.

It's even better when people die from preventable illnesses in the richest country on earth.

Also, we do not have free market capitalism. It's certainly capitalism, but not free market, not even close. Most people need a license to do business. In that, you need permission from the government...to do business...in that the government could put you out of business and fine/jail you...if you do not do business within the letter of the law.

Just saying, lets be real about this.

What's wrong with having a license to do certain business? Having a license to perform a certain job and such keeps many people from getting scammed or robbed. I will agree that even some people with a license are unethical, but feel that's the minority, not the majority.

Also that's what makes capitalism great. A person can start a landscaping business, or a construction company and through hard work and complying with license's to do business, many go on to be small successful business owners who Employ people. Small business is the backbone of this country and if u want if bad enough..that employee who started with a small business can go on their own and live the American dream. It's their for the taking for all..it's how bad you want it.

Those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

One guy screws up his back and suggests replacing the free market with a system that killed millions and had an even worse workplace health and safety record.

The best candidate to run for President in my lifetime is Bernie Sanders, who identifies as a socialist, and you are talking about voting Republican?

You are very confused.

I didn't read the article because I don't answer survey questions, but I'll tell you this: the only crime is stealing other people's stuff.

Technically Bernie is a "democratic socialist", And I have not seen such a great candidate for me (other then his views on immigration) in decades.
