Matter of fact, you can't trust capitalists to do much of anything...except make money! If life was primarily about money, that would be great, but it's not. We all like to have money to spend (I know I do), but must everything else be sacrificed in its pursuit?

Capitalism actually works very well as long as it's small-scale and locally based. Remember when there were hundreds of small car companies in the USA? Now there are just 3 huge ones that gobbled up all the little guys...and I believe there's one rather small one, I forget their name at the moment.

It's when capitalism becomes huge, monopolistic, and multinational that it begins to take on really evil overtones, and that's what has happened. When businesses are no longer locally based, then they can no longer be held responsible for their bad behaviour. When they can move a whole industry to some wretched 3rd World country, and employ the people there as de facto slaves, then they are just robber barons...above conscience, above consequences, and above the law.

Sounds more like communism to me, in fact, only it's not communism on behalf of the state...it's way bigger than that...it's communism on behalf of the dollar, which knows no borders. Its propaganda is heard every day in the ceaseless ads on your radio and your TV. It is the biggest Evil Empire of them all...so far.
