I completely agree with you on the education Kasz. Good to see we don't disagree on everything. Let us celebrate briefly. *cheering*
Capitalism doesn't have morals, but the people in it do. If people have morals they will help others through charity. Not everyone in a capitalist society needs to be making money. If people have extra money, why couldn't they donate it to a charity to take care of the poor. In truth the reality of the poor is we will always have them with us. Christ himself said that.
Monopolies suppress the market and that isn't capitalism. Oil companies in the early 1900s would pay the employees of a competitor to keep them from doing the job they were hired to do. That is not capitalism, that is false capitalism. When you suppress the market similar to that you are enforcing totalitarian ideas, and I submit totalitarianism isn't free capitalism.
If a market is under the boot of a monopoly, that monopoly will stop any attempt to challenge its authority in that market. That isn't capitalism in its purest form of idealism. If monopolies were to restrain themselves from strong arm tactics, that would allow for more competition and more capitalism.
PS. Thanks for getting the debate back on track Kasz. The FairTax has its merits and its faults, but I believe that the merits far outweigh the faults.
