What's not fair exactly?

Especially if you're reading this from the USA.

Watched the first video.... It's saying there is a very unbalanced wealth distribution (which we knew).
It also says socialism is NOT the answer.

Bitcoin anyone?

I'm shocked someone on these boards asked what's not fair, exactly. Woowa!

Where do I start? First, I LOVE that Carlin video. His most truthful 3 mins ever, and he was always pretty straight forward.

Real quick, the enormous amount of power Congress has now, thanks to the sleeping masses, that they wield around to the highest bidder...which of course are the gigantic multinationals and banks, (many of the same we bailed out to the tune of $17 TRILLION) that then use these laws and tools to crush and/or buy out their competition to create massive worldwide monopolies, legal now because they have the power and pull to control just enough of the judicial system as well...

...As the rapidly disappearing middle classes pick up the largest U.S. debt and interest check in history, often forced to use credit just to pay bills and make ends meet, with 2/3rds of the country living paycheck to paycheck if they're lucky and 1/2 the country needing some sort of gov't welfare because the job market is as bad as 1978, record numbers of low paying, part-time and temp jobs...on and on...while the elitist thieves siphon more and more wealth from the populace since the Great Depression of the 30's. The system is nearly broke beyond repair, and don't get me started on the credit default swaps and derivative contracts. I think we'll all find out soon, they went too far, got too greedy, and everyday I thank God for Bitcoin/bitcoin.

You're absolutely right. It's unfair about the bailouts, runaway government spending, political control from corporations.
But this isn't capitalism at all -- this is "corporatism".
