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

Democratic party is the party of the Elites now. Have you noticed yet?

Would it be more harmful to come up with a new name for regulated capitalism? I feel like terms such as capitalism, socialism, democratic socialism, etc often give the wrong impression because they're all such loaded words.
