Terry,
That's an excellent find!
What many in the younger generation, particularly those active in the "occupy" movement don't realize is that our standard of living hasn't deteriorated because of capitalism. It's deteriorated because the government has taken an ever increasing slice of the economic pie, and has taken an ever increasing role in determining which industries do well and which industries are pummeled with regulation.
We haven't had anything approaching free market capitalism in this country for at least 30 years. We done cooked the goose that laid the golden egg, and ain't smart enough to figure out why the gold has quit coming in.
I hate to say it, but the problem with America is Americans.
