Communism and capitalism both don't work.
We are slowly seeing why capitalism is killing this country
what the forget. capitalism works under strict but fair regulations, the regulations that the people you vote for are getting axed in favor of hyper-capitalism, which will overall forget over everyone but the people who are already ridiculously rich. it sounds like communist stuff, but you need a healthy balance of socialist regulations to improve the quality of life and spending power of the population, competitive regulations to restrict monopolistic and anti-consumer activities, and opportunity regulations to encourage new businesses and growth.
the problem is lobbyists hired by monopolistic corporate pigs payrolling republicans to incite fear upon their dumb white populace in order to get rid of monopoly restricting regulations.
smaller government = less problems for the rich = the poor grow more ignorant
in the end it just becomes an oligarchy
