"One should doubtless keep an open mind...though open at both ends, like the food pipe, and have a capacity for excretion as well as intake." -- Northrop Frye, 'The Great Code'
The irony is that true capitalism simply does not exist in the United States, nor in Canada. I would much prefer real capitalism. Of course trying to explain this or anything to these useful idiots is a lost cause.
True, Alain, we have a government monopoly on healthcare, government enforced marketing boards, government subsidized CBC, government ... America is more capitalistic but drifting ever further from it. Even those who benefitted most from it, like Buffett and Gates, don't seem to understand it or seem inclined to defend it.
"It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences." -- C. S. Lewis
