Democracy and capitalism...compliment each other...I suppose they do in a way but the problem is when capitalism begins to subvert democracy through money, you need to put some serious restrictions in place to stop that from happening because currently capitalism controls democracy whereas for the relationship to be a healthy one it should be the other way around.

Its like a normal relationship, the man should be in control...if you let the woman get in control all hell breaks loose and the relationship becomes dysfunctional...hence America
Melvin, the writer in " As Good As It Gets", said to the Ditzy gloating Secretary at his publisher's office when she asked how he can do such a good job when writing women's thoughts: " When I think like a woman,.... I think of a man, and then I take away all reason and acountability."

Just kidding all of you women. :)

Neither system is perfect, and I agree with built in corrections and restraints, but I favor ones that are rooted in the private sector as opposed to the government sector.
