Don't you love it when capitalists beg for the government to step in and prevent competition?

And Bill Spaeda is worthless. Why are we driving him traffic?

Spaeda was never really a capitalist, he’s more of a libertarian unless it doesn’t put him at an advantage.. so basically, he’s an asshole

No, this is the inevitable conclusion of capitalism: the capture of government by private interests.

That’s the conclusion of libertarianism and incomplete Austrian economics (before Hayek realized his ideas as a younger man were bullshit).

The conclusion of capitalism is more or less a highly productive workforce that gets plenty of leisure time, amenities and financial safety nets provided by the state through pooled capital. Oh, and most taxes are levied against the value of land, not income.
