How can you make such a statement as central banks all around the world are propping up their failing financial institutions as the global economy freezes to a halt. The richest 1% of the American population owns more than the bottom 90% while the American political system has more criminals per head that any organization in the world. Over half the worlds population is starving as the world is on the brink of a world war and the environment is teetering on the point of no return. Which part of capitalism is working?
I am not making flippant statements when I say this is the last US election, it is. THE WORLD WON'T SURVIVE ANOTHER ONE.
