The Gatekeepers Of Capitalism

Has it occurred to anyone that the 1% and Big Govt. go hand in hand? Big Govt. facilitates the maintenance of the 1%. Get rid of Big Govt. if you want equity.

It is not so much the useless garbage but to brain numbing BS they peddle.

There are lots of things they could do but most require getting off their lazy asses and getting a better education or moving to where the jobs are. Fact is welfare pays too well for the lazy to want to look for a real job. Then there are places like where I work where even the newest laborer will make $100G+ a year. But you have to get off the couch and do something.

Wait .... you are poor , can barely pay your apartment and you want them to get an education? On what money? I don't know where you get your facts but here anyone getting by on welfare have to count every penny. Now moving? To where? Where there is a boom and apartments and lodging are like mortgage payments of small mansions? Not all who is on welfare are lazy. There are some , yes, been like that for a few generations, but I don't judge all that is on welfare on the few I see like that. I just don't use a wide brush like that.


It is easy to judge on a few details.

Watch the film and tell us how the rich are contributing to the economy.

Yup , the poor wealthy

I assume you can point to a period in which government was smaller and equity was greater?

I don't agree with your conclusion. Government certainly can work to benefit the rich, but without intervention there is no reason to believe that the economy is going to become more equal.

A good deal of the problems we have run into were due to the government's failure to act when they should have. For example, Canada did a lot better in 2008 because we maintained tighter financial regulations than in the US.
