I honestly feel that a lack of proper infrastructure is stifling progress in our country. We used to be technologocal leaders and innovators, now we lad woefully behind... | |

Another negative factor of the capitalist system. Instead of getting people the tools they need to remain competitive in the modern world we first have to figure out how to make the "right" people the most money first. Backasswards if you ask me.

Capatilism encourages innovation, which is why we were in the lead for so long, and Japan is currently... The problem is our two-party government... Especially now that both parties are nearly identical... | |

When there are only two parties it is easy for those "right" people to get into our governments pockets and get what they want.
