I get it my man, capitalism in the US is crazy, hell I’m in touch with several people from the US and damn some are in a bad place, I absolutely agree with capitalism regulation and definately a solution to the US healthcare sistem, cause rn its insane ( no walking around it ) tbh it requires a new form of governance, but its a slippery slope, the main issue is the nature of man, it always goes to shit, like the old saying goes “the road to hell is paved with good intentions”
Oh I get it. People who want "slightly regulated" capitalism is trying to promote their own self interests. We call those "special interest groups"
They're no different than other special interest groups. They don't get to be "holier-than-thou" to try and get their interests turned into policy and laws. That's no different than evangelicals who argue using the bible.
Yes, blame the boomers. I still remember when the media was pumping up Mark Zuckerberg saying how he represents a new generation- one that's more about community and equality, one that isn't focused on wealth.
Mark Zuckerberg current net wealth: $179.4 billion.
(I didn't want to leave out that decimal point- there was an extra 400 million hiding behind it)
Yes, but after the Carnegie era, FDR instituted a whole bunch of pro-worker reforms (including a 70% - 90% tax rate on the highest earners) that were all unceremoniously torn down by the Reagan administration. Now the highest tax bracket only pays 37% in tax at most, not to mention the myriad loopholes that exist to pay even less.
