Capitalism isn't working?
That banner is more worthy of getting comments than the scope of the article.
Capitalism isn't working, because, socialism is destroying it. Socialism is self-destructive, and when people want bigger government and get it, socialism tends to overpower the free-spirit of the free-market/capitalism. Both cannot exist together. Socialism is destructive, and capitalism is not the problem. The problem is that, "when the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic", which is another way of saying that, the republic will die as a consequence of the people killing the free-market system.
