10. Saving Capitalism from Capitalists

Mon Jan 18, 2016, 04:16 AM

Jan 2016

Many capitalists are unconcerned with law, morality, or ethics. Some capitalists are even willing to kill capitalism for a profit.

I'm talking about the "to big to fail banks".

By breaking those banks up, President Sanders will be saving capitalism from the capitalists.

Here's an important concept: borrowing money cost's money. Why then do both Democrats and Republicans borrow so much money - money they can't pay back? Could it be the revolving door between corporations and the three branches of government? Or the unlimited campaign contributions? Or the media consolidation ?

If these things were to change, it would be because a President was elected with a mandate to do them.
