This is incorrect. There are many problems in the US that are falsely attributed to capitalism. Most of which really stem from abuse of our money. True capitalism (competition) drives prices down.

Constant inflating of the money supply, crony capitalism, the cantillion effect, and the perverse incentives that arise from our government having a monopoly on money are the real culprits. There are certainly real problems that people should be complaining about, but blaming them on capitalism is misguided.
