It is 100% a FACT that Chinese slave labor is propping up this so called capitalism you think is so great. Sorry, but there are more important things in life than buying cheap trinkets at the lowest possible price. Just how is American Capitalism so great when we are 21 TRILLION in debt? It clearly is not working, and only a matter of time until it fails completely.

What happened to the fear of communism (red scare)?
Capitalism deals with the private sector and private businesses. When Uncle Sam gets involved that's when the corruption starts to rear its ugly head. Capitalism does not promote the things that you are talking about. You are speaking of capitalism as it is inherently evil, it is not. Capitalism is not responsible for slave labor. The Chinese government is communist so they are likely to operate while committing the atrocities that we have seen from other communist regimes. You also fail to recognize the communism, while dealing in economics, is a political system. Capitalism is an economic model, not a political one. It is important to understand the difference. Capitalism gets taken advantage of, when the federal government starts picking winners and losers and dipping their fingers into the private sector. Subsidies to growers of corn, and oil companies are a good example of this. That is choosing one industry over another. When that happens, it poisons the pot. Your debt reference is also wrong, because the federal debt exists because the government spends too much. That has nothing to do with private business or capitalism. Even if you you dive into the realm of of taxes, the federal government isn't short on money or revenue, they just spend spend spend us into oblivion while blowing money on things that do not benefit America or its people, i.e. Foreign aid. We should not be goving any money to foreign countries when we have the debt that we do. I appreciate that you are will to come here and defend your position. You are seeing the problems that we face as a society, but you are placing blame on the wrong doorstep. You need a little more understanding of the market and cause/effect that is relevant to seeing trends and spotting problems. I take back my snowflake comment. You have spunk and drive, and even though you do not agree with me on issues, you are willing to engage me on the battlefield of ideas. This is how we better our country, and society, by engaging on another in fierce debate and forcing ourselves to defend our position. You blame capitalism, but it is not the private sector that is holding us back, it is the federal government and its meddling.
