12. Tell me it isn't necessarily so

Growing up, I was taught that communism was evil because the state planned economy starved their own citizens in order to get hard money by exporting wheat. The same was true of czarist Russia, and Prussia as well. One reason the Irish were starved during the Potato famine when they were exporting wheat to earn hard cash.

Besides one point, how is this evil being repeated in the US different, the people being harmed by the export of their country riches while they do without. The difference is that Russia, Soviet Russia, Prussia, and England were government control (Irish colony rules) while in the United States the government could do nothing about it, it was capitalism at work.

Mitt, do we really want the robber barons turned loose again, and allow the urban serfdom of 1900 to return?
