Absolutely, provably, demonstratedly untrue. And just btw, it's not as if we're the only capitalistic country - so there goes your pretty petty bigotry. Yeah, no system is perfect, but capitalism, historically, works. So sad for you.

Yeah but it still a damned better deal than any thing else out there.
I mean, not only usa is capitalist, it was invented in UK, and is used worldwide, and the countries with the most capitalist economies are Switzerland and Singapore. And there is no alternative that works in the world.
WE HAVE DELUDED OURSELVES INTO BELIEVING THE MYTH THAT CAPITALISM GREW AND PROSPERED OUT OF THE PROTESTANT ETHIC OF HARD WORK AND SACRIFICES. CAPITALISM WAS BUILT ON THE EXPLOITATION OF BLACK SLAVES AND CONTINUES TO THRIVE ON THE EXPLOITATION OF THE POOR, BOTH BLACK AND WHITE, BOTH HERE AND ABROAD.
