Does Capitalism thrive on Main Street or Wall Street?

[Master]

Is it currently in its purest form?

I think we can ALL agree that no, Capitalism right now has been infected by government bureaucracy and in a lot of that bureaucracy hides political favors, backroom deals, a fleecing of the population....lots of underhanded tricks being played by folks in the government or people who know people in positions of power and it's not right.


To put it in better terms, the referees of this game aren't calling it square for both teams....all I want is an even playing field where the highest paid gets called for travelling and the league minimum maker gets called for his traveling just the same

I would not say governments infected but regulated.

Slim Trae, I was wondering have you read Griffin's The Creature of Jeckyll Island? I have probably learned more from that one book than a hundred other books. Just an incredible amount of information in there. I have no idea how on earth Griffin managed to write it.

Look at the Clinton Foundation and Hillary as Secretary of State....infected
