I argued that America and capitalism is NOT the problem.  Greed is.  America did great for a long time in allowing everyone (most) to grow together.  Then for the last 30+ years we turned to profit over people and "trickle down" and killed ourselves as a nation.  Even he agreed there is a difference between working hard and making as much as you can and "greed" that puts other people out so you can make more.

Exactly right.  I am what you would call a "moderate", I guess.  I am a registered independent (and damn proud of that fact), and have only voted for duopoly of corruption candidate once in my entire voting career.  I see the good and bad in "both" sides.

That said, if anyone can't see that trickle down is a farce.....I've got some ocean front vistas in Butte I'd like to discuss with them.  Sight unseen, of course.

(BTW, Germany protects its workers, and last I saw, they were several spots ahead of us in the world economy  )
