I wonder if the champions of capitalism rich and poor alike, (which has solidly failed the American people twice now in but 80 years) are ready to concede that it may not be all it has been cracked up to be?
The immediate response to this (if any) will be through Ad Hominem from those who see the world in only two contrasting colors with the ever popular shield that surely I must be talking about taking our country communistic, socialistic or some other "istic"...failing to see that perhaps a mix of the tried and untrue economic models might be the way to go for us. Or something new entirely.
But surely, I'm just dreaming in print, because our economic and social futures are already designed and set for us all (globally) by the wealthiest and most powerful; who amassed said wealth and power through nurturing the system(s) we live under to the detriment of the vast majority of Americans whose misfortune can be seen growing daily.
I wouldn't want to be a person of grade school age today, anywhere in the western (or eastern) world and have the next 80 years of being treated like a farm animal... to look forward to.
This is the result of short sighted greed and rampant capitalism with no consideration toward it's workability for the people or the possibility of adapting it when it's failure showed itself evident.
This is the legacy we leave our children.
And our "children's, children's, children".
