There's capitalism, and there's unmitigated, lie-like-a-dog, screw-the-rules, rape-pillage-and-burn *greed*.
I don't have any problem with folks who want to sell a good product at a fair price.
I take extreme issue with legalized sociopathy and gambling being the basis for society. It's ruined our banks, our healthcare system, and our country. When people live and die by Wall Street rather than Main Street... that fails the Kantian Imperative. Epically.
Now, how we stuff this pony in a round pen is a whole 'nother ball game....
