I am seriously not trying to insult anybody but I am very curious as to why people who decry capitalism as the bane (ha ha) of society, and who's lives are enriched by that capitalist society that is based on individual choice and freedom choose to remain here.

I do not decry Capitalism only Capitalism run wild!
Countries such as Norway who practice what they refer to as social capitalism where corporations have rules do extremely well. Most people in the country could care less about a huge bank account, they work for a LIVING wage, take their paid vacations and live.
If someone wants to accumulate a lot of wealth fine but that is not the most important aspect of life.

When people in Government have to sell their allegiance to corporate interests to have any chance of being elected we have capitalism run wild!


Dude, you made no such distinction in the opening post.  See:

A Capitalist system is a system based on greed and a capitalist nation is a nation without virtue.

So tell me, since you are now telling me that capitalism is ok and a capitalist nation does have virtue stop speaking in generalities and get down to details.  The problem with the OWS movement was tat they had no details. 

What type of regulation would you like to see where we remain a capitalist nation?
A reminder for kentay:
I fully support going back to ALL, that says ALL THE CLINTON TAX and spend policies that led to the economic boom in the second half of the 90's.
