I would say capitalism is the cancer, but conservatism sure supports it.

    Unchecked capitalism is the direct result of unchecked conservatism. If not for conservatives, the normal people would be permitted to regulate capitalists and determin how much capitalism is acceptable in our modern culture.

    Under conservatism, the normal people are not even permitted to charge capitalists with crimes, force them to pay fair taxes or force them to pay fair wages. Is it only conservatives who protect capitalists from the regulating hand of the normal people.

    Conservatives are the ones who do the dirty work of union busting and passing laws that protect capitalists, even when it directly harms the public.

    If not for conservatives, the normal people would be permitted to regulate or abolish capitalism as we choose. Conservatives have always opposed regulations for capitalists. They will resort to violence in their protection of the wealthy.

    We cannot defeat the boss until his foot-soldiers are dead.
