It's not a 'free market'. That's the fun part.
Then why are you always trashing on "CAPITALISM" if that's not what you're claiming the current system is? The fact is the US is a
plutocracy/oligarchy/corporatocracy and is extremely corrupt, and LACKS free markets. If you haven't noticed, the government has been bailing out some
of the biggest corporations and wasting billions on PPP loans to fraudsters (and their buddies). By "picking" winners and losers, the government is
not letting the markets properly correct to natural valuations, which is also what happened in '08 when AIG got bailed out and the government
nationalized mortgages via Freddie & Fannie
Currently the claim is that the wealth disparity & root of all socioeconomic problems is capitalism, while we are just hanging on to any semblance of
capitalism while the leftists want the Fed & Treasury to continue printing trillions to "hand away" to every person, including illegal aliens &
criminals while taking money away from law enforcement and allowing small businesses and innocent citizens to get burnt & pillaged.
My point is that it is the EXPANSION of the state and government which has decreased the standard of living of everyone else, and socialists like
yourself are asking for MORE government. The state is already bursting at the seams with inefficiencies, lack of incentive, absent of accountability
and ripe with FRAUD, CORRUPTION, WASTE and ABUSE.
But you want more state and less entrepreneurship/independent freedom? Like a previous poster said, the whole victim mentality & modern day radical
left movement is
pathetic and hypocritical to its core
