Leslie, I do not need any ad hominem attacks regarding my "disdain for this country." I have an opinion which different from yours, it doesn't mean, because of my opinion, I love America less.
Capitalism and the PROFIT motive go hand in hand. The "capitalism" you claim built this country, was built on the backs of slave labor. People who WORKED FOR NOTHING, while their masters PROFITED off the fruit of their labor. Slavery would have ended the day it was declared that ALL MEN had to be paid equally for their work.
Sweden is partially privatizing their social security? Good. I will introduce them to Bernard Madoff, he can manage it for them.
I suggest you to read Joseph Stiglitz's writings.
