What is needed is a President who will bust up the companies, someone like Teddy Roosevelt, except without the racism.

I agree with you! We’re living in the end results of it. A socialist system works better. It works for the Scandinavians.

We’re not living in capitalism, we’re living in the mutant child version of it, corpo-kleptocracy.
