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."

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."
