It's not a this or that thing. We have always had a good balance of both. For the most part we pay in our taxes and capitalism has made sure the rich corporations are taken care of first and foremost and socialism has made sure the rest of us get a fair shot. In the past 30 years, the rich and corporations have done everything they can to get rid of our social programs because that leaves more for them. That is why more and more of the money goes to the very tip top. That's why the average american worker has not had their pay increased in 30 years. That's why average Americans cannot afford health insurance, etc., etc. Now just to get back to where average households can even make it, we need a huge dose of socialism put back in the mix. Every time, and I really mean EVERY TIME we have have a republican elected to the wh, the first thing he does is send every penny possible to his huge rich donors and friends at the tip top.

What corporations are the "rich" you speak of? A better way to ask...what % of the corporations in America represent "Rich" ?
Is it 80%
75%
Instead of allowing you to look foolish are you aware that over 97% of all American corporations are under $750,000 net income? Over 80% are less than $500,000
And of the remaining high income 3% "Rich" only 10% are elites. 10% of a remaining 3%
The wealthiest people in America are close to these same percentages.
Maybe do your homework, research.
The wealthiest people in government are Democrats in Congress and the Senate, then throw in a few governors.
Ever ask yourself why under Obama the elite recieved the breaks and poorest the shaft?
Why do Obama slate over 3.5 trillion in QE to wallstreet instead of mainstreet?
How did Obama leave the White House a multi billionaire?
Don't consider trying a strawman argument, first consider using our federal government websites that provide these facts .
Well i don't necessarily trust numbers our government post on it's websites. They do give us a reasonable direction to find the t***h.
The elite that benefit from government handouts, avoid taxation are but a smallest number that the % is laughable in a Capitalist economy.
CNN, MSNBC love to tell stories how XYZ corporation made billions of dollars, paid no taxes and paid their executives millions in bonuses. They turn corporate America into the villains. They are fabricating the t***h to align with a socialist agenda , PERIOD! They are remiss in telling the t***h of capitalism versus Crony Capitalism when Crony Capitalism represents less than 10% of the remaining 3%. They stand behind 8 years of a president that sells Americans a socialist Healthcare (Obamacare ) that breaks and bankrupts dozens of insurance companies, then tens of thousands of Americans with high deductibles and copays, all while costing taxpayers nearly a trillion dollars in cost just to establish it and more every year after.
8 years of business k*****g regulations that sent millions of jobs overseas and the biggest business (corporations) closing it's doors in history. In fact the first time in history that every year more businesses closed than opened. What a historic record to break, huh?
You can easily find the survey's done on businesses number one reasons for going out of business . Number one, regulations on bank loans to businesses that closed their doors and regulations on businesses themselves that were not sustainable during America's greatest economic melt down in history. Yes, during the greatest meltdown in history and hardest economic time for business, Obama lays out over 30,000 regulations and the CNN, MSNBC, NBC's of America did their level best to debunk regulations k**led businesses believing Americans would believe them instead of reading the most damaging regulations themselves, only to learn they were nothing but enormous cost attached to frivolous regulations that end in zero benefits other than another form of taxation through regulation.
It's not socialism that built the wealthiest nation , military, greatest power in all the world's history with the least poverty (our poor are considered rich to most nation's), its capitalism .
Of any economic system ever known to man, used in a society, look what Capitalism did for America.
But the left prefers believing a 70 year lie that has been so worn out and repeated so many times that it is believed, the evil Republicans that block socialism and protect Capitalism are in fact trying to protect the 97% of Americans corporations that over 80% of are mom and pop corporations and it is these corporations that move America's economy.
In the end a lie has caused l*****t to h**e the very engine that moves our economy maybe trace back the origin's of the lie and ask why?
