The problem with a capitalist ethos dominating govt is that of itself it has no conscience. It is the job of government to regulate the system, not serve the system so it can exploit the people. Regulated capitalism has done great good; unregulated capitalism has done great harm

They are lifting their middle class but at the expense of free speech, democracy and dissent. Communist capitalism should not be our goal!

Great article.
Three forms of capitalism are practiced in today's world:
*Regulated Capitalism
*Communist Capitalism
*Gangster Capitalism
The GOP is trying to convert the US from Regulated Capitalism to Gangster Capitalism & using "culture wars" to distract us from it.

His perseverance means everything to me.
If any Senator believes this is the last time they will cast a vote on whether or not to give a raise to 32 million Americans, they are sorely mistaken. We’re going to keep bringing it up, and we’re going to get it done because it is what the American people demand and need.

The White House wouldn’t support the @VP overruling the advice of the parliamentarian.
@SenSchumer took $15 minimum wage out of COVID relief bill before it was brought to the floor.
8 white Dem senators led by Manchin joined extremist Republicans to block Sanders' amendment.

Manchin and Sinema say "No" and the whole party bows to them; progressives keep saying "Yes" so the party doesn't bow to them ever. Can anyone explain this to me?
