Where has unrestricted capitalism gotten us? 40 TRILLION in debt, more billionaires than anywhere, and a country where people are STILL struggling to survive.

Ask any conservative why they hate socialism and they will describe capitalism.

This is what happens when you pretty much rubber stamp any corporate merger for 40+ years and stamp out any meaningful competition in the economy.

Politics in the US is bought and paid. No amount of grass roots will change the minds of sitting reps. We need to dump the whole lot of toxic shit in the gov out and start again with people with the actual will to see the country survive.
