If current day America is the "Best" capitalism can produce, then capitalism has failed miserably.

How can you even say that? We are fabulously wealthy, even our poor. I think you have been too long inside an echo chamber.

Either that, or you compare America not to what exists, but to some fantasy that exists only in your head. Then, when we obviously can't fulfill that, because it's a fantasy, you shit on us for it.

It's like the North pole; every other direction is south. You're at the Left pole, every other direction is right.

You are either delusional or so twisted by right wing ideology that the truth no longer matters.

Explain how our poor are worse off than people in the past. Try to use facts and citations to back up your assertions.

They're not, they're better off, fabulously better off. Consider the washing machine's effect on women. Or microwave dinners. It's not even funny the labor savings that has enabled women to be more productive and the families richer.

On average the population is worse off. Easily demonstrated, just look at per-household inflation-adjusted income for the last 60 years and realize the number of workers per household has doubled since then, so take that into account.

GLHF.

I don't argue with internet randoms. I made my point.
