[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1253134, member: 2189"] I've always found it interesting especially in the economic turmoil of 2008' that unbridled capitalism was to blame. OK, let's concede that point as true, that 2008' resulted from years if not decades of unbridled capitalism. Yet in those same years, social programs and what we call the welfare state also grew right along side of so-called unbridled capitalism and some the leading capitalists of the day openly supported such programs and candidates who advocated them. Let it also be pointed out that in those decades there were candidates elected who on the one hand allegedly championed for so-called unbridled capitalism while others championed for social programs and more often than not they ruled side by side and in cooperation with one another. Regardless of who held power, both seem to grow and benefit from those in power. Leaves one IMO to possibly conclude that unbridled capitalism and social programs are not antagonistic to one another and in fact are committed partners. But if you only listen to the narratives.
