    The only people affected by capitalism are its willing clients. If I purchase an environmentally damaging product, am I not as guilty as the manufacturer? As an old age pensioner I drive my 20 year old Honda Civic by the parking lot of teachers in the local elementary school. Unionized teachers, who, if anyone could, embody the essence of political correctness, and what do they drive? Shiny new SUVs carrying , as my Civic does, one person to their destination. Anyone who attempts to persuade me to a liberal way of thinking would have to make me ignore hypocrisy. An impossible task.. .

    Why do people who oppose capitalism choose to stay in America when they could just easily GET THE FCK OUT.

    Don't be a hypocrite. If you dislike capitalism, please leave and don't come back I promise you no one will miss you.
