"But as with all ideals and ideologies, Capitalism too can be corrupted and as a result you have the rise of Corporatism… the concentration of power in the hands of the few with the most money, who, seeking to gain an advantage over their competitors and to dissolve fair competition, mire themselves in the political process to such an extent that it distorts that which was good and that which was beneficial in promoting the “General Welfare” of the nation as a whole. In this context, Wall Street is not the champion of Capitalism as much as it is a champion of Corporatism. In essence, it has turned America into a playground for a collective of fat cats and delusional crony-capitalists, who, with little regard to the protection of our democracy, continue to treat our great country as their own personal sandbox. They not only accumulate wealth for themselves but they also accumulate democracy for themselves at the expense of others."
