That is a common misconception usually used by those opposed to, or do not understand, capitalism. Capitalism is a socio-economic system, not just an economic one. AKA laissez-faire capitalism. It is the only moral system.Originally posted by gyacopetti
Because people are bleeding hearts and dont like it that its a system where only the strong survive.

We do not have a system of capitalism in this country. We have a mixed economy. A little bit of freedom mixed with socialism and a topping of government controls.

I agree with you. Now, playing devils advocate, how can a system be fair where the top 10% control 90% of the money in this country? How is laissez-faire capitalism moral?
