The first fundamental of capitalism:
1. Without capitalism, we'd all still be living in caves and eating dirt.
OK, how about kidneys?
A perfect example of where your well-intended meddling causes far more harm than good. Yes, we restrict the sale of body organs through regulation and as a result, people die. There is NO REASON there should not be a market for body parts as there certainly is a demand...demand that often goes unfilled meaning people die.
Sure, you'll scream the sky is falling and that thieves would be stealing children's kidneys in the middle of the night. That there are already laws against such non-consensual activity matters not to the nanny stater. You know better, you have to step in and oversee the entire market for body parts by removing that evil profit motive. Again, the result is people die. But hey, you know what's best for everyone else, right?
Stick your anti-capitalism, meddling ways. You've done enough damage.
When money is King, the King shall be born again....

I suppose you hold the same position in regard to drugs and sex? if it's sex with children does it make a difference?

Consensual activity between adults is no of your damn business, nor that of the government.
You're just one vast geyser of idiocies.
If you don't want money corrupting education, then perhaps teachers should work for free. After all, we don't want them corrupted by that dirty money.
Is there ever an acceptable reason to restrict the use of money? Say for the purchase of drugs, or sex? OK, how about kidneys? It seems we have already accepted the ideal that the power of money should have limits, now the question becomes what should those limits be?
I feel there is widespread belief that money should not be allowed to purchase government, I would like to co-op those feelings and suggest that money should not be allowed to buy healthcare or education for the same reasons we dont allow it to buy kidneys. Because it cheapens the process to allow people to just buy them, it should go who need them, and education to those who have earned it not just by being born into the right family, but by working hard and yes by being lucky enough to be born smart,
I think smart should matter more than rich, but it doesnt in America and thats our problem.

I could say the same thing about government.

You could but not to the same extent.
All per capita economic growth, or living standards, comes from innovation and technological improvement. Anything government does to facilitate this contributes to higher living standards. Anything government does to enforce contracts and the rule of law does so also, and is absolutely critical. But government is very poor at responding where to allocate capital to innovate and commercialize. It doesn't mean government doesn't have a role, but government is generally not the institution which drives innovation and mass commercialization of new technologies. Even if the technology arises out of government, i.e. a lab at a university, it still needs to be applied broadly. Government is generally poor at that.

I don't get where you get all this stuff about America being bad at doing stuff when we work together, that only in our individual efforts are we efficient, what about the free way system, the post office, rural electrification? Not to mention landing on the Moon, i think America can do great things if we develop the will to do so.

Both capitalism and socialism should be regarded as tools, not God given ideologies. National Parks are pure socialism. Preserving the best and most unique for the enjoyment of all citizens. Companies like MicroSoft are capitalism, creating products that we can afford and enjoy. Trying to foist either off as a solution to every need of society is simply insane.

Socialism is a tool for impoverishing everyone and giving dictators absolute power.

The only way to get absolute power is to be born King, the GOP are working on it, if they can just kill that death tax.....
