    Every economic system requires money for food. Unless you want to grow your own? Been gardening for 35-years, it would be hell to feed my tiny wife and my tiny self on 2 acres.

    It’s not capitalism, you’re just seeing the end stages. No reason we couldn’t have continued to tax the snot out the wealthy and continued to collectively bargain via unions. No reason we couldn’t have continued to disallow and bust monopolies.

    Any economic system will eventually funnel the money upstream. We have to have the morals and education to fight against that. Every economic system is rise and fall, rinse and repeat.

    I don’t have the ultimate answer. Education? But how do you fund that, and keep everyone singing from the same hymn book, when the money starts trickling up and the rich fight for their own best interests?
