Letters from an American - Heather Cox Richardson

[Farmer-Rick]

2. She seems to know what she's talking about

It's the concentration of our national wealth in the hands of a few rather ignorant, greedy people that is causing the deterioration of our democracy.

But isn't Shorty Putin the richest man in the world? You know the man murdering innocent people in Ukraine. That is what capitalism produces.... People like Putin.

But that is what capitalism always does. If you don't want a handful of greedy, insensitive, hateful, stupid people running the world, you are going to have to get rid of capitalism. It is the next best economic system, since feudalism. And like feudalism, it is all about a handful of hateful people ruling over all of us.
