I know what capitalists do, they do not engage in philosophical discussions on capitalism, they go after profit no matter what it takes even if it means buying influence and getting compliant politicians elected. This practice is openly defended by both parties but republicans make it a requirement to hold office in their party.I grasp that it is the way our government is run and conservatives wouldn't change it for the world, it would not be "business friendly".mmmm
Are you drinking already?All that stuff is supposed to fight government corruption? Nothing for the too-cozy relationship between the big money and government? Nothing to address election spending? Nothing to address lobbying? Seems you care more for how the government spends than how it gets in bed with big business and sides with them against the American people.
You're speaking of Crony-Capitalism, which is what is otherwise known as Progressivism (fascism).
And the only way to fight that intrinsic corruption is to disqualify those who are known to be adherents of such from participation.
You can't solve a problem which is comprised entirely of Left-think, through the application of left-think.
He's dead on, every time you hear capitalism you go to crony capitalism which is actually a form of socialism. It's central planning and has nothing to do with capitalism. It has the word "capitalism" in it so you don't grasp it
Again you show in spades that you don't know what capitalism is. Capitalism is not business friendly, it is neutral. Consumers, suppliers, employers, employees, investors, businesses, everyone makes their own best deal. Government is just a referee, it's not a kindergarten teacher like liberals want.
You again are talking about crony capitalism, which is a form of socialism. Government picking winners is central planning (socialism), not distributed decision making (capitalism)
