Yeah, right.

"By the time of his death in 1937, Rockefeller's remaining fortune, largely tied up in permanent family trusts, was estimated at $1.4 billion. According to some methods of wealth calculation, Rockefeller's net worth over the last decades of his life would easily place him as the wealthiest known person in recent history. As a percentage of the United States' GDP, no other American fortune—including Bill Gates or Sam Walton—would even come close."

There were many once wealthy people in the soup lines together. Some people lost so much money,even death seemed a better choice. Capitalism when left unchecked , tends to run amok. Europe seems to have found a way to blend capitalism with what seems to be more of a social consciousness. Remeber when the little people aren't buying,the rich aren't getting richer.

Absolute drivel.  While old JD may have popped up in the soup lines to flip a few nickles at the great unwashed, having scaled back  from dimes, with his billion plus 1937 dollars he didn't need George Michael to tell him to choose life.

"The capitalist system cannot continue without pro­duction, but the stage of monopoly or finance capital, which capitalist production itself breeds, is essentially destructive of productive forces. Thus, in Marx's words, capitalist production begets with the inexorability of a law of nature its own negation. It sets in operation monopolistic forces that "at last reach a point where they become incompatible with their capitalist integument. This integument is burst asunder. The knell of capi­talist private property sounds."

"Demand in modern capitalistic system is artificial, mostly triggered by bubbles like the Dot-com bubble or the more recent housing bubble.In India too the credit card system involving a lot of sub-prime lending is triggering the consumption"

"The growing struggles of the working class in Europe and internationally against mass unemployment and government austerity policies are exposing the reality behind the façade of bourgeois democracy. In every country, the government, whether conservative or nominally “left,” is cutting jobs and wages and slashing social programs in complete disregard for the overwhelming opposition of the population."

Try reading a little before you expound on socialism vs. capitalism.  
It's not quite the same as the Beatles vs. the Dave Clarke Five.

Look  ,you can worship the Rockefellers. They helped loot the treasury too,.
All weath is created on the backs of labor. Big buisness is bad for little people. There is no way around it or there would be no little people.
SOYLENT GREEN IS MADE FROM PEOPLE!!

Although you seem to have failed to either read or understand the Einstein essay, and everything that came after in this thread, you are correct in one assertion.  Soylent Green is made from people.
