Regulating capitalism is like riding a tiger. It's hard to do and you're always in danger of being eaten.

It goes back to what I said in the first reply and what you said in the second paragraph about capitalism being in the captain's chair. No matter how good the program is for the people, if it doesn't work toward maximizing not only overall profit, but also the RATE of profit, it won't happen under the dictatorship of capital.
