47. So you are saying capitalism by design has a corrupted legal system

Not that anyone really designed it but it is how the powers that be stay in power and a corrupted legal system assist with that. So a corrupted legal system is determined by our economic system.

So if we fix our economic system our legal system will change. America always works backwards and tries to fix the legal systems with laws and rules. But the legal system always reverts back to corruption because of our economic system. Interesting. Thanks for the info.

I should probably read Marx but I just haven't found the time.
