Pardon me, but capitalism is nothing more than producing more than you consume, saving the surplus until you chose to deploy it in a more productive manner to create more wealth that solves human needs. There is no fault in freedom, but rather in the apparatus of control that alleges to protect us from ourselves.

A free, capitalistic society allows for individuals to own all factors of production, whereas in other political systems they are owned by the state, or state-favored monopolies (the only kind). The US Constitution was supposed to protect our freedom to lead our own lives, but you can see how that is working out.

Now, where’s the fault again?

The fault is, apparently you aren’t paying attention to the difference between a capitalist and a corporate welfare bum. Romney is a corporate welfare bum.
