In theory, on a chalkboard, capitalism makes good sense for those who wish to build an economy. Yet in practice, capitalism is often more closely aligned with theft and greed. In the ideal, capitalism would provide opportunity for all without restrictions to fairness and equality. Yet the ideal is not what is occurring. What is occurring is a sense of entitlement and privilege by the most successful to keep opportunity and fairness out of reach for the many. It is a ploy used to maintain an advantage of wealth that cannot be challenged. Which is why the many of us fight so hard for fairness and opportunity in our capitalistic paradigm so that merit and hard work do not go unrewarded.
Through regulations and social contracts we are able to keep the most wealthy from taking all the economic gains made through our endeavors. The idea that those with wealth deserve the most from enterprise is nonsense and only exposes the greed to it's sunlight. What we are all involved in here is a cooperation of destiny to work with each other to make our own lives better. Not to make some lives better while the vast majority of us struggle just to survive. the balance has been out of whack for some generations now and cannot survive at this pace if modernity and intellectualism are to survive. Surely a king-serf paradigm will return and with it the same condescension and by your leaves as a rule.
There is a battle for the soul of our nation on several fronts from rights through to expectations. The republican party would have us without democracy in it's hopeful form and return us to the drudgery of being controlled by a few. The democratic party would not accept that people are chattel nor property to be controlled and instead would enlighten us to achieve the positive happiness we all seek. It would seem like there should be no contest as to what political party we should follow yet the misinformation and obfuscation being promoted through hatred and bias by republicans has made the choice murkier to understand.
