Americans are beginning to see that capitalism, as implemented as an ideology, is a fraud. The politics will change as Americans continue to be thrown into poverty.

1. Capitalism is...

... by definition, the control of money. That is, in NO way, synonymous with free enterprise. In fact, it is the complete antithesis of free enterprise. Capitalism has metastasized to the point where it is a stage-four malignant cancer hell-bent on killing America, and everything that once made it great. All for the financial benefit of a few hundred greed-crazed sociopaths. I'm looking at you, Koch, Cook, Musk, Bezos, Mercer, Zuckerberg, et al. You could have done so much good with your wealth, but no. Pathological greed consumes every one of you, 24/7.
Well, the piper WILL be paid. Get your affairs in order, 'cuz y'all are goin' DOWN. You'll be cleaning toilets with your toothbrush when this is over.
Corporations are determined to establish Feudalism v.2 as the only allowable economic system, and those who fight for a livable wage, decent working conditions, and equitable benefits will soon be mulch. Even those rabid Red-Hats will see the light when their wallets are empty because of these people.

4. Citizens United ended our fair economy and the rich

were able to buy the government.
The Father of modern capitalism, John Adams wrote in 1776 Wealth of Nations and gave us a market driven economy that worked efficiently. He stated in his book that corporations must be regulated by the government to discourage monopolies.
Along came Neoliberalism and that killed it. It brought us the Best Government money can buy and monopolies. Remember back in the 50s when when the highest tax rates for the rich were in the 90% range? Of course there were deductions for investments for investing in new capital like factories and infrastructure.
Not anymore Citizens United allowed investing in politicians. Buy tax breaks for investments.
No longer efficient for the masses. The most efficient model is the worker owned business. Where the worker earns more when his or her efficiency pays off for them. Look at Costco, workers earn more when the company does in there wages and stocks. That means they get to vote in board meetings. They have a say and get rewarded for it with more wages and stock.
