Is there anything tax cuts CAN'T fix?

You know, a free market has YET to be proven to work in the benefit of society as well, in more ways than just economically. Capitalism failed miserably over in the 80s (funny, around the time communism also started to fail, correlation?) , and lo' and behold, increasing the debt by 3 trillion got it out. This was under Reagan by the way, the greatest de-regualtor and all saved the US major downfall by spending huge amounts of money. After all, there is zero difference between building nukes and roads when it comes to the actual flow of money.

Furthermore I can write you a nice long paper about what a failure Americanism is. It is is as much failed Capitalism as Communism is failed Socialism. I very rarely see the best for cheapest prevail. I see the company that gets the best advertisements and spends the most money on psycholigist research prevail, even if their product is worse and costlier. As another example of business fuck ups, the nuclear reactor problem in Japan happened because of deregulation and bad business.

Basically, I agree that government is a piece of shit, however businesses are far lower than shit and that impresses me.

My friend, America hasn't had actual Capitalism in decades.  We've had Corporatism.  Captialism didn't fail us, we failed Capitalism.

Here is the kicker. You can't have Capitalism either without people's words being ironclad and a strict code oh honer (lawl, what a nice world it would be if it jsut worked like that), or what is more feasible would be to have government regulation to ensure no bullshit occurs. But then you have regulation which is not part of Capitalism, and the entire concept itself is almost a paradox. The more I think about it the more I realize actual Capitalism is even more of a fairy tales than Socialism.
