23. Predatory capitalism is the prostitution of free enterprise

Tue Feb 3, 2015, 05:03 PM

Feb 2015

The "FREE" in free enterprise means freedom OF responsibility, not freedom FROM responsibility. Today's corporatists have exploited Ayn Rand's bumper-sticker "philosophy" of pathological selfishness to exempt themselves from any responsibility for the manner in which they acquire their wealth. Which means the laws of corporate governance have to change... one way or another. Sadly, these swine will not surrender their undeserved advantages without a fight, and it is sure to be a bloody one. So be it.
