Reply #2: capitalism and democracy cannot co-exist [View All]

[welshTerrier2]

We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both. - Louis Brandeis

great quote from Brandeis !!!

this is fundamentally, at least for me, the objection the left has with the democratic party ... democrats continue to endorse free market capitalism ... and as long as they do, our government will continue to be sold to the highest bidder ...

the amassing of great wealth will always destroy the highest ideals of democracy ... it is folly to believe that mechanisms can be invented to keep the greediest in government from taking handouts from those who wish to buy their favors ...
