Capitalism: in 1955, administration made 30 times as much as basic employees. Now, administration makes 300 times as much as employees.

Get the Capitalism mug.The biggest lie of all time. Only an enlightened few can see it. It is the cause of 90% of the worlds current problems such as global warming, Imperialist wars, racism, homophobia, weak healthcare systems, unemployment, poverty, etc. Turns otherwise intelligent people into raving, brainwashed idiots that relly think they're free in America.

Get the Capitalism mug.An often maligned system that was endorsed by Philosophes of the Enlightenment and again by the Social Gospel of the Industrialist Period during the late 19th century. A system that rewards those who work hard and use their talents to the fullest extent, now has been confused and distorted into a systematic operation of oppression and greed, called "corporatism". Can actually be mixed with socialism to create a utopian society if managed properly, a system we almost achieved under Clinton but was trashed by Dubya.
Capitalism is actually a system built for a democratic society by the definition of Enlightened Philosophers, but Corporatism has distorted the meaning of capitalism horribly.

Get the capitalism mug.We are in a donut hole my dear, we pay insanely high income taxes, our wages have stagnated since the 1970s, having private health insurance sucks and covers only a small percentage of the fees charged, rent has skyrocketed everywhere and so we are never going to be able to save a dime; this is why capitalism is a death cult!

Get the capitalism is a death cult! mug.Capitalism is the refinement of all the ills of the free market -- such as the "bottom line" being more important than people, the emphasis on using money as the basis for measuring values, and the constant need for more and more that drives the system.
Capitalism is an inhuman force that pushes millions into poverty. It is a force that leads a small group of extremely powerful men to dominate the majority. In the quest for power, the capitalist not only rapes and pillages a few small villages and towns. The capitalist rapes entire markets and nations. This creates resentment for the wealthy. Because of this, the capitalist resents the majority in return, and fears them, too. Capitalists use their resources to isolate and protect themselves from the ever-increasing amount of victims tha they leave behind; they spend more and more on body guards and security to protect themselves from both real and imagined threats.
A capitalist society is a society ruled by money. The poor, which do not have access to the capital, are bantied about by economic forces. They are unwitting stooges, devoid of free will and hope. Capitalism is a society where an extremely small group of people live in unimaginable luxury and elegance while the rest of the world wallows in environmental degradation and increasing squalor. It is a society where the rich and powerful get richer and more powerful. It is a system where the ruling elite use their insider connections to grind the rest of the world under its heels. It is a world of monopoly, insider trading, financial scams and outright theft. Capitalism is an imbalanced mechanism for distributing power where the rich get richer and the poor to get poorer. The Wealthy capitalists use the government to do their bidding, whether they are stealing property from the less powerful by having the government take it over by imminant domain, and handing it over to themselves, or using our military to overthrow a poor nation that uninvites their industries in favor of local businesses.
Capitalism leaves, in it's wake, shattered lives, iniquity, and an uncaring attitude towards people.
