It baffles my mind that you can not see all the evils of unchecked capitalism.
i am not talking about vague theories. I am talking about facts proven by history.
Child labor
Deadly working conditions
Monopolies
Unsafe products
Environmental destruction
Price fixing
Slave wages
Poisonous food and drugs
Market manipulation
That is what unregulated capitalism gave us.
We all agree that we need a capitalist system, but it has to be regulated by the government to prevent oppression of the poor and middle classes.
