We agree there too. I believe the Wall Street bailouts are criminal and don't abide by our Constitutional foundings. Many Americans did. Which is I'm sure what you noticed and caused you to incorrectly attribute it to Wall Street or whatever. It is just plain corruption plain and simple. And I vehemently opposed and still do oppose ANY FORM of Wall Street or Corporate bailouts. If a local restaurant owner goes out of business no government officials come to his rescue. But let some wealthy corporate fat cats make a misstep and lose Trillions and what happens? They go crying to the Treasury to bail them out. After all, they shouldn't have to cancel their vacations in the Bahamas. So I get you. Unfortunately many in our nation aren't able to identify and vote out the culprits. For instance I bet you blame W Bush for the bailouts? Am I right?Cannonpointer » 29 Dec 2021, 9:51 pm » wrote: ↑ I find it quite interesting that you unwittingly describe mafia activity as capitalism.

I know. That is the very crux of the issue.
Okay. Let us grant you this argument. I don't - but for the sake of argument, let us.
My issue is with WALL STREET capitalism. So let us not argue over what we agree about, shall we? Let us argue WALL STREET capitalism - that capitalism which conforms to the definition about which my complaints are made.
If you want to defend THAT capitalism - the I lent my neighbor a saw capitalism, - you will get no argument from me. But if you wish to defend WALL STREET capitalism - the capitalism that is birthed, born, regulated, bailed out and sustained by the government gun, - then perhaps you might begin by explaining why I'm being bullied to surrender my very bodily autonomy to a wall street experiment under threat of the government gun?
