Predatory Capitalism

A predator goes after smaller, and usually defenseless creatures. Antelope graze with their ears tuned to the sounds of lions, and other animals who would like to have them for dinner. Being wary, and quick, are their best defense, and usually the slower, older members of the herd are quickly removed.

Predatory capitalism works the same way. The capitalist will seek out something it wants; oil, minerals, and other natural resources. Then in a ploy they will attack that country, and take what it wants, leaving the victim nation much worse off than when they found it. And they will not care one whit about what they had to do to get it. Therefore the predator capitalist has no loyalty to any country. They will use every means at their disposal, and they lack allegiance to any flag. I get so angry when I see politicians who endorse predator capitalism wrap themselves in the flag, pretending to care about its soldiers, or the environment.  Pat Roberts, Republican from Kansas, is running again for the Senate.  In his latest ad,  he wears his old Army uniform, and is seen saluting the flag. He could care less for he is a liar, and has abused Veterans his entire career.  He is heard muttering “We need a soldier.”

The Koch Brothers, billionaires who want to pollute the earth, and kill true Democracy. They hide behind surrogates.  Gov. Sam Brownback of Kansas and Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin two examples of their henchmen. These surrogate henchmen cut regulations which protect us in the “herd”.  They are vile people. They don’t care if your sons or daughters end up dead while the predatory capitalists are going after what they want. They don’t care if water is so polluted that life on earth will fail, they are unaffected if you cannot earn a living, because they will do well.  They have already shipped manufacturing overseas. Working poor, uneducated brown and yellow people, are worked to death. Look south beyond our borders to Mexico, they have ruined everything there. North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA ) decimated farming for many Mexicans. It now costs more to plant a crop, making it impossible for local Mexican farmers to make any profit.

In the United States predator capitalists are trying to cut regulations which protect us. They would love to do away with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and eliminate all business regulations. And make sure they pay even less taxes. They shift the tax burden onto the worker. Predatory capitalists are truly vile people!

A friend said that Obama is the obstructionists, he is so wrong.  Was it Obama who shut down the government, was it Obama who refused to talk to these clowns?  No, they shut him out, refused to work with him on every turn, and the big lie is that Obama is the obstructionist!  But that goes without saying, they are liars!  They are unpatriotic, and they don’t care if you or I die.

Capitalism is a predatory economic system. The first person to document and explain capitalism, Adam Smith, recognized this weakness and called out for people to take precautions. One could call Capitalism an economic elixir. It can prevent many economic pitfalls and enhance life for everyone that participates within the Capitalist system. But it also has a natural tendency to exclude those who happen to not succeed. It doesn’t have any moral center to it so Capitalism become an engine for advancement, but not necessarily for the good. Over time left to its owndevices, Capitalism will start to devour competition, the natural brake to Capitalism’s excesses. Even worse, left unchecked it will evolve into Fascism.
