Why is Capitalism failing in the USA? - Charity Name - 11-18-2012 01:00 PM
I'm curious to know why in America our Capitalist system is failing that we are being reduced to have more government involvement? It would only make sense that if Capitalism was the BEST system of government and produced the most effective outcome, then we wouldn't be in need for more social and government control. However, this is seemingly not the case as more and more government involvement has been shown to be apparent. Wouldn't we be all better off right now if Capitalism was succeeding rather than under employed and financially strapped?

It is BECAUSE of government interference that capitalism struggles.
Highest coroprate tax rate in the world.
Over-regulation
Overly litigious employees
Corporations have to make a profit to survive. If they can pull a better profit from sending jobs overseas than here in the US, then it makes sense that the jobs go overseas. I agree that CEO salaries are outrageous especially when compared to the average worker...but that is up to the shareholders to address and not the government.

It's not. It's the Socialism that's failing here.

Because it's no longer privatized and because of that it's more profitable to have everything overseas.

Capitalism hasn't been in practice in the US since Wilson was president. What we have is a mixed system that is failing because government's control of the economy has ceaselessly increased throughout our history.

Because we now have a president who prefers socialism over capitalism. But this is a temporary set back. In 2012, after Obama has gone away, Capitalism will once again thrive.

The only reason capitalism is failing, is because we're making the mistake of getting the government more involved.
It's only when we don't let it do what it needs to do that it fails.

Because with capitalism, big business's only concern is profit , with no concern for people and their well being. We the people of the US need protection from the greed of business.
