Are you saying this recession we are living through that took a huge chunk of my retirement is a Success of Capitalism?
If these are Successes of Capitalism then I think you have a pretty good case that Capitalism can not be salvaged!


So please, he is saying it is a failure of capitalism when he says "The Great depression was a Failure of Capitalism". He didn't it was a failure IN capitalism did he? We both say "of" do we not?

Trying to defend him with semantics that don't even work is intellectually unbecoming to say the least.


zzzzz....
