There’s a difference between amoral & immoral. Amoral means you’re not actively trying to hurt anyone, you just don’t think it’s your responsibility to consider them one way or the other. One then leads to the other: an amoral economic system inevitably has immoral consequences.

This system has created more opportunities for success than any other in the history of mankind. This year there are 19 new billionaires, and nearly 6% of all Americans are millionaires. The whole world sends its young people here for an education. unemployment is at 3.5%.

Okay let's break this down: "amoral" means "lacking morals". It's generally used as an epithet. Now you imply that our system is "amoral" whIch is completely, 100% wrong, because all economic decisions reflect the morals of the buyers and the sellers.

This idea is just another way of saying free markets are immoral, which is a tired Marxist trope. Don't think free markets are moral? Try government provided products and services and get back to me.

How in the world can a "system" have or not have morals?

Do you know something negative about the economy. I know the current Prez is a Republican, but the economy doesn't resonate as a problem to me. I have 2 subjects unique to run on w/if u want, but you Must ask.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Yes. There is a distinct difference. No. It doesn't. To assert that one leads to the other is to, ultimately, conflate the two. Conflating them after acknowledging the difference is intellectually dishonest.

Capitalism is the most moral economic system because it gives everyone an opportunity to improve their own life and live their own dreams without asking for permission.

Too many are convinced that getting rid or tRump will solve our problems. tRump is not the problem he is the symptom. To correct the problem the DNC needs to recognize and cater to their true base, those being the poor and disenfranchised. See: cnn.com/videos/politics/2019…
