From your website it said that the selfish rulers who hoarded all the wealth were responsible for the fall of Rome, sounds like an argument for lower taxes if you ask me. How would Socialism prevent more selfish rulers from hoarding the wealth, it seems it would be much easier since the state already owns everything anyway. I fail to see how this remains capitalism's fault.
Anti-capitalism is not a form of government. Canada is "socialistic" - France.. often rated as the # 1 country on the list of best places to live, is socialistic. Socialism.. is like a family. I think we would be far better off running the USA like a family, not a 'business' - a 'business' is all about the bottom line. They don't care if you live or die.. a business will outsource jobs and pander for illegal aliens to replace you. A family wouldn't dump you on the street, not take care of you when you are sick.. or allow unlimited hordes of 'aliens' into your home. Think about all of the crap business gets away with.. and how they have bought into our government.. they 'own' it.. not we, the people.

'Capitalism' would be okay, but only under a strong system of checks & balances. Why should astronomical differences in income be allowed..?? That is how a pyramid scam works. The rich are only at the very top.. and the base must.. must ever widen/broaden in order to continue. That is not feasable for very long. Just look at what is going down right now. .
