We don't live in a capitalist society anymore, we live in a dystopian oligarchy where the politicians are owned by the banks and corporations and the laws are written by their lobbyists. The banks and companies that caused the economic collapse a few years ago got bailed out on 100% of their losses while not one person has even been prosecuted for the illegal actions that caused the collapse. Or at least almost no one, and definitely no one at the top. Meanwhile the Republicans are nominating Romney, whose former line of work consisted of buying up companies and liquidating them. His platform: a tax cut of $300,000 for top earners while the poor and middle class get almost no cut.
