LOL capitalism has been dead in America for a long long time. As soon as the government sticks their hands into private buisness capitalism is no longer the term for what is happening.

The country has NEVER been truly a capitalist society-----so this is nothing truly new.

I agree with Vulchor, a true capitalist economy is one in which means of production, the goods produced, and the distribution of those goods would be solely and wholey owned and controlled by private entities without any govt interference whatsoever. A Facist economy is one in which the means of production are privately owned but what is produced and the distribution of those goods are controlled by the govt. A communist economy is one in which the means of production, the goods produced, and the distribution of those goods is solely controlled by the govt. Very few economies fit into only one category, most are a hybrid of one or more.

+1. A free-market Republic is a better label, IMHO.
