Why do I never hear about nationalizing banks or creating more business subsidies?

Capitalism allows everyone the right to create their own business. So your claim that under capitalism the elite own all business is simply wrong. Big business can manipulate the government, but that is illegal. The solution is not to change the form of government but to stop the corruption.

The elite don't own all the businesses, I never said that. If I did I wouldn't have said this:

Then these "protesters" go around burning down small, local businesses and attacking working people!

This directly says that there are "small, local businesses" which aren't owned by the billionaire elite.

You have misquoted me, thus I shall cease further replies in accordance with the Pyramid of Debate.
