I came across this paragraph lifted from Harry Belafonte's autobiography My Song, and in my opinion, it's one of the very best on why raw capitalism doesn't work in the USA:
"...The tension peaked. "The trouble," Martin went on, "is that we live in a failed system. Capitalism does not permit an even flow of economic resources. With this system, a small privileged few are rich beyond conscience and almost all others are doomed to be poor at some level." Taking a sip from his glass, he continued. "That's the way the system works. And since we know that the system will not change the rules, we're going to have to change the system."
Reality!
No doubt Markle the forum fascist, will now tell us why raw capitalism is perfect. Uh huh ....
