The fix of American capitalism

Where those in power with the most money limit innovation with violence death intimidation and actively distracting from innovation progress cannot be made if cures are found new tech developed or easier ways discovered only for the innovators (usually the next generation) only to be killed/silenced in the name of maintaining those already established's control. Therefore limits must be set on long standing capitalists or the aristocracy will continue to dominate the allegedly "free" market. So I support local small and new enterprise and capital. Overthrow the old build up the new! Happy spring!!

no....that's not the answer. capitalism has brought more people out of poverty than any other system by far. It's time to move on to something better, but not just by tossing it out without a tested replacement.

@originnone agreed but the innovators that have proposed to or have created fixes for it often show up dead so something needs to change before revolution becomes the only solution

@originnone capitalism is not doing it anymore. It's another unjust caste system.

@Roundandroundwego I think if it were managed better it could still be of value. My issue is that in the 21st century world, there needs to be more balance of life needs among the population. I have far less of an issue with income disparity than with people not having basic needs met...like health care, food, etc. A lot of those types of things could be fixed without getting rid of capitalism....

@originnone that's socialism, social democracy when people manage capitalism to be less cruel. Didn't the US Congress just vote that this is wrong?

@Roundandroundwego not necessarily. Mortimer Zuckerman, of all people, support a minimum base income as do some other conservatives. Things like that can be done under the umbrella of capitalism....as an example, the Chinese started doing things that worked economically and just called it communism....
