Will's right, there are such safeguards, but the big guns can
work around such minor details as the rules and regs.
I didn't say that Capitalism doesn't still have problems or that
abuses of the system don't exist. I said 19th century and 21st
Century capitlaism are different - and this is true. And public
ownership of large companies - the "Democratization" of capital -
puts the lie to much of what Marx and Engels predicted.
In any event the problems of our economic system in no way prove
that any other system - or having no system at all - is a better
way. Again, merely criticizing something doesn't mean you have a
solution or anything better at all to offer. That there were
people stupid enough to think different only led to genocide, mass
murder and totalitarianism; under the Nazis, under the Fascists,
and under the banner of Marxist revolution. For all it's problems
Capitalism still works best as an economic model, socialism has
even more problems then Captalism does but at least it's a
functional system. Unlike Marxist economics which has been proven
to be total bull**** in theory and in practice.
True enough. I studied all the different theories when I was younger.
I always figured that understanding the so-called enemy was the first
thing one should do.

Since I've come to basically the same conclusions as a young man I
became a libertarian. tO me it's about leveling the playing field.
The so-called regulators can only be bought off by those who have the
dough, as in "he who has the gold makes the rules." THerefore, less
intrusion by government into my business bedroom and elsewhere is
always preferred.
