Wow... somebody hates America.
*Clears throat* I hate to tell you buddy, but you live in a socialist state. "Pure capitalism" cannot survive. There is no way around it. To believe otherwise is folly.
Socialism is why we have the Fed to regulate interest rates so we avoid inflation... socialism is why we have tarrifs to protect native industry... socialism is why we have farm subsidies to keep America's family run farms operating... socialism is why we have Unions and living wages... socialism is why you have more than a snowball's chance in hell to work for a company with your name on it rather than Rockefeller, Geddy, or Carnegie's.
Unchecked capitalism simply cannot exist... it is a fire that consumes all resources until it extinguishes itself after burning all of the oxygen out of the room.
Perhaps you are like the many other people who frequent these boards who don't know the difference between Socialism and Communism?.
LOL! You need a lot of education and more than a little enlightenment, my friend.
This country does have too much socialism simply because it is too easy to attain political power by simply buying votes using taxpayer money.

ROFL! Please, spare me the melodramatics and sophomoric attempts at logic.
The degree of socialism required for a country is basically outlined by our founding fathers. Anything beyond this is un-needed an un-warranted.
BTW, where have you ever seen "unchecked capitalism" at work? How do you know that "it is a fire that consumes all resources until it extinguishes itself after burning all of the oxygen out of the room."
Exactly WHERE has socialism provided a utopia? Can you answer that simple question. The idea has been around a long time. Should be easy to find.
