The government has been doing it for years and selling it as capitalism but its not. At all lol. I cant stress that enough. If the government were to protect us from that kind of thing, without getting involved in the markets, now that is capitalism. People trading and doing business voluntarily and freely without corruption from government.
Any study that says 10% of business owners are not greedy or good or bad or whatever, its a total opinion piece written by someone who hates capitalism lol. Seriously there is no way anyone could compile that kind of data and even be close to accurate, especially from another country lol. Think about that for a minute. Think about how many businesses exist.
I understand that you guys have been spoon fed for years that rich people are all bad. but its simply not true. If you really believed that, you should be boycotting computers, phones, and alllll the stuff that those nasty rich people have created to meet the demand you had a part in setting out --including the NFL. Its laughable to see all these occupy type kids hang out on their trust funds, sporting all their little electric gadgets, whining about rich people. They are some of the rich folks biggest supporters. Those kids are big time consumers, they just dont want to do it with their own money lol. Its sad. Boohoo I have a $100,000 degree in russian literature or some other liberal art and cant figure out why I cant get a job. Its not fair, I shouldnt have to pay the loan that I applied for and signed, promising I'd pay it back lol!!! Goodness how pathetic. These kids are spending $4 for a starbucks while other people are drinking $1.50 gas station coffee, and the gas station coffee folks will end up paying for those goofy kids if they get what they want. Its absurd. Its backwards.
The NFL is an example of a social program funded by capitalism. It is share and share alike. From the outset, the owners realized to have a competitive league they needed more than just four teams in major markets. They need for more teams meant playing in smaller markets with less revenue which could eventually lead to bankruptcy first for the smaller teams and later for the entire league. So the individual owners implemented profit sharing. Those damn dirty socialist!
What did the NFL do to the USFL and the XFL? They put them out of business to eliminate their competitors. Why? So they could "corner the market." Why? Because they are capitalists and the last thing a capitalist wants is a free market.
