Unregulated capitalism is bad.........

Faux-regulated capitalism where the government let's the capitalist write the regulations... that is a DISASTER. Welcome to drumpf's world. Business is right now racking up every dollar of profit it can from the tax scam cuts, buying back its own stock, employing people but not offering any sort of "trickle down" wage increases. They know the bubble is going to burst and when it bursts they will all be on their tropical islands sipping mai-tais while the middle class gets crushed even further to clean up their mess.
