... and the word, "free," in free enterprise means freedom OF responsibility, not freedom FROM responsibility.
"Capital" is money. Capitalism is the manipulation of money, preferably someone else's. In the perverted world of Wall Street banksters, the ability to lie, cheat, and steal is the measure of a person's worth, and any concerns about the social implications of their depredations are actively discouraged. In fact, a member of that wholly owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, the Federal Reserve, recently said that social considerations should never enter into economic calculations.
Linguists and etymologists of the world, UNITE! We need a new word for "STUPID." Any equation affecting people that does not factor in its effects on people is doomed to failure. And its the people being affected that always suffer, not the assholes doing the affecting.
When you encounter the terminally dim of wit who say the word, "socialism," like they just found half a worm in their apple, explain slowly, and in words of few syllables, that socialism simply describes a government that puts the best interests of people ahead of the best interests of banks and big business.
So there.
