In defense of Capitalism...

Throw me your arguments against capitalism. Keep it on topic as well.

If I have the only store that's hiring in the neighborhood, like oh, hypothetically, how about WALMART, and you need to buy food for for your family and can't get a job anywhere else, and you get a job with me, and I treat you like, well, just about shit; you're fucked  'cuz there aren't any other jobs since all the mom and pop stores are out of business.(employee)
And then, since there aren't any other stores that you can afford to shop at since I pay you shit wages, I can sell you processed crap to feed your kids, and you can't really do anything about it since you can't afford anything else. (customer)
God forbid I should ever do anything like like that to you or anyone else. But many folks wouldn't think twice about it. It's happening everywhere in the "free market" : open your eyes.
But, of course, with ethical people, free markets work just fine.
Problem is, you can't have one system for ethical people, and one for those without ethics, 'cause it's not that black and white, and a lot of folks are many different shades of grey.
