Capitalism is corrupt, but its defenders say it can be regulated to become less savage. History shows that the tendency of power and money to aggregate and be monopolized in fewer hands makes the dream of regulated capitalism impossible.
24th Time Is a Charm
•
From the classified documents he took to Mar-a-Lago to New York State business fraud charges to Stormy Daniels, Donald Trump’s demise has been predicted too many times to count. We will believe it when we see it.
Trump to Establishment Enemies: Thanks!
•
Mitch McConnell and other mainstream Republicans are starting to attack Donald Trump. What they don’t understand is, they are probably helping him with his base.
