Can Capitalism Thrive Without Free Goodies From Government?

3. it comes as no surprise that the topic of this thread is going nowhere...

I've long maintained that liberal Dems in the US are somewhat conservative in two main areas... they tend to avoid questioning the antidemocratic and reformproof nature of our federal system... and they tend to avoid questioning the corporate form. Of course both are discussed superficially... bandaids and other tweaks are often proposed to address problems.

I see the runaway corporate form and grotesque wealth/income inequality largely dependent on the antidemocratic nature of our system... a connection not even a Bernie Sanders mentions... at least to the best of my knowledge. Given both government and the corporate form shape so much of our lives one might think looking to reform or improve either would be a topic of constant discussion here... after all we know the right would never want to reform either. Who would have thought liberal Dems and the right have so much in common.
