I am a capitalist, make no mistakes.  However, I think that the plutocrats in this country are more anarchist than capitalist.  True capitalism requires reason and a nuanced understanding of and respect for humanity as a whole.  The people who caused the 2008 financial crisis are animals with no respect for law and order or any human beings but themselves.  These plutocrats have become something equivalent to the monarchs that existed prior to WWI.  Many people toil for forty, or sixty, or eighty hours a week providing essential services to society yet they are unable to provide a healthy living for their families.  All the while, the plutocrats take the benefits of their labor and piss it away on insane luxuries and the occasional charity to make themselves feel better about robbing humanity.  This is a recipe for war.  Hopefully reason will prevail.  I think that the article in the Chicago Tribune entitled “Activists at MLK event tie equality to wages” points to a positive approach to the problem.
