The form of capitalism you extoll is no longer dominant.
"Free-market capitalism says that the only purpose of business is to create shareholder value and that the unfettered market can regulate itself.
"In the last 30 years, that definition changed to, 'the only purpose of business is to create shareholder value measured by short-term results and with little or no regulation.'"

No I won't forgive you ever...you are what is wrong with
Oh really? It wouldnt be the hatred and racism cranked up by trump. Nor the extreme partisanship, ignorance and hypocrisy. Let's not forget the Jesus junkies and their disgusting view of others.
No you're right. It's none of those. It's those bloody democrats again. They bring their communist attitude and want more equality. They should never allowed them to vote and the place remain a Republican utopia where trump like fascists can reign supreme and fools like you lick their boots like the ignorant dickhead you are.
Again, I'm sorry I tapped into your mind again. It's a habit I acquired by posting here.
Nonsense. It is a capitalist republicToday the USA is neither capitalist or Democratic.....

The USA abandoned real capitalism years ago...and that is one reason we are falling behind in the world....The United States is a capitalist society where means of production are based on private ownership and operation for profit.

Actually, US citizens currently live under the "best government money can buy" due, in large part, to forty years of neoliberal propaganda designed to convince the victims of US capitalism it is a lack of personal responsibility that's responsible for the fact their wage levels have barely budged while the richest one percent have seen their income and wealth skyrocket.If US citizens actually lived in your type of world, where we all had the same lack of drive and couldn’t care less about personal responsibility, yes, we’d need our faulty ridden government to save us from ourselves.

If not government, which institution should exercise exclusive legal control over US currency?Sure you can. You just need consensus that government shouldn't be meddling in our economic affairs.
You made the claim "(d)emocracy serves the interest of the majority" NOT all the people."As you usual, your pompous self-important fonts and links amount to nothing more than random nonsense, that in no way addresses the quote you're responding to. You have a real problem with that. If you can want to drone on and on about irrelevant shit, kindly refrain from quoting my posts. It makes it seem like you're responding to my points, but you're not. You're just steering around them.
U.S. Billionaires are Now $2.1 Trillion Richer Than Before the Pandemic - Inequality.orgIt's weird how guys who own a lot of stocks make a lot of money when stocks go up a lot.
Any way of living...Capitalism, Socialism, Communism, Fascism and more are not part of Freedom which is from a Republic. Not Democracy. The Constitution say nothing about those different systems. It tells us we are a Republic. And we are not anymore. We are a Democracy as we are kept being told by the politicians.U.S. Billionaires are Now $2.1 Trillion Richer Than Before the Pandemic - Inequality.org

"America’s billionaires have grown $2.1 trillion richer during the pandemic, their collective fortune skyrocketing by 70 percent — from just short of $3 trillion at the start of the COVID crisis on March 18, 2020, to over $5 trillion on October 15 of this year, according to Forbes data analyzed by Americans for Tax Fairness (ATF) and the Institute for Policy Studies Program on Inequality (IPS).
"Not only did the wealth of U.S. billionaires grow, but so did their numbers: in March of last year, there were 614 Americans with 10-figure bank accounts. Today there are 745.
"The $5 trillion in wealth now held by 745 billionaires is two-thirds more than the $3 trillion in wealth held by the bottom 50 percent of U.S. households estimated by the Federal Reserve Board.
"The great good fortune of these billionaires over the past 19 months is even starker when contrasted with the devastating impact of coronavirus on working people.
"Almost 89 million Americans have lost jobs, over 44.9 million have been sickened by the virus, and over 724,000 have died from it.
"To put this extraordinary wealth growth in perspective, the $2.1 trillion gain over 19 months by U.S. billionaires is equal to:
- 60 percent of the $3.5 trillion 10-year cost of President Biden’s Build Back Better plan.
- The entire $2.1 trillion in new revenues over 10 years approved by the House Ways and Means Committee to help pay for President Biden’s Build Back Better (BBB) investment plan."
Your blindness is obvious to all..oh fuck it. Not wasting my time with idiotic equivocation. And that's pretty much all I see from socialists.
Fascism is much worse than communism.
Wait, why is fascism worse than communism?

Brutal Capitalism: How America is transforming from a democracy to an oligarchy | The Milwaukee Independent
"In an oligarchy, the rich can get away with anything and average people who try to stop harms to themselves and their communities get crushed. We’re now there; the question is whether we’ll pull back from this horror show, or whether it’ll continue its evolution toward a full-blown police state.
"The Sackler family, whose criminal Oxycontin drug-dealing killed over a half-million Americans and destroyed the lives of millions more, is close to a deal with the states to keep around $10 billion of their ill-gotten gain in exchange for giving the states a bit over $4 billion over a nine years.
"Nobody will go to jail or even suffer an inconvenience like no longer being able to use a private jet or give up one of their many mansions.
"And it’s not like they were caught in a one-off crime. In 2007, they reached a settlement with the government over their illegal and deadly marketing practices, promising to behave like good citizens. Then, as the Washington Post noted yesterday."
