This is a comment by Max on the post “Top 10 Worst Things to Happen to Women This Millennium“.
I’ve changed my mind. The number 1 thing hurting women – as well as men, teens, children, and even babies – this millennium is unregulated crony capitalism.
We have thousands of Baby Boomers who are one missed light bill away from being tossed on the streets, people committing suicide left and right since they lost their jobs, college grads drowning in debt and unable to find work even at McDonald’s, and millions unemployed and in misery.
If you can afford to buy Axe Body Spray (or even care about it), you are one of the privileged.

In reality, there are NO Capitalist countries, not even the U.S. of A. Capitalism is when an economic system’s currency is based on a non-inflatable capital (like gold, for instance), not one based on ‘trust’. It’s the LACK of Capitalism that is the problem, that and too much gov’t control. Learn the truth about Capitalism at http://www.fee.org/library/books/economics-in-one-lesson/.
