Of course capitalism will last. What works best in this country is Capitalism that is definitely nasty, exploitive, and benefits few, and a system of socialism that modifies softens the exploitation by providing Welfare to the workers and poor, medical help to the needy, etc. and retirement benefits that allow the workers to live after working their butts off for much of their life. this also brings huge amounts of money into the system which is used to purchase products and services. this causes the Rich to get richer. this causes jobs to be made.
the reason why our economics are failing so dam miserably and we are losing jobs to foreign countries is because the Right is only interested in profits that benefit the few and don't care if normal Americans left without work and a future. American workers are still losing jobs to overseas at over 4000 jobs each month. Prices are going up and exploitation workers is growing. We Americans, Black, White, Hispanic, and Asian are being kicked out of our jobs by low underpaid workers from Mexico and latin America, at an alarming rate. In a country where there are about a 100 million jobs. we are talking about 288,000 jobs over seas that use to give good pay and benefits to American workers. in the next 20 years, we are going to lose about 720,000 more jobs. Slowly the right wing is gathering impetus in the screwing of America.
These workers from latin America are good people who work hard and want to feed their families. Yet they are being exploited and used by Right Wing World Capitalism to fight and replace American workers in the USA.
Look in every major city, you will find empty plants and manufacturing centers and homeless. Jobs are gone or going overseas The Right wing in our country is without conscience, morals, and ethics.
The War on Terror is very important, and needs to be won. first we need to get out of Irag and start fighting, instead of creating terrorists.
We need to stop The Right Wing War in the United States. Nafta, cafta, safta, and wto need to go. we need to start supporting the USA once more.
We need a resurgence of American Economics and screw those that want to get richer at the expense of American jobs and worker.
The Stock market is not an indicator of jobs and American companies. It is an indicator of international business. investment. And represents less than 4% of the people of the United States, and investment by multinationals in each other.

Several years ago, Wal-Mart, arguably a powerful influence on any market, introduced a marketing program which it called "BUY AMERICAN". It featured displays of goods carrying 'Made in America' labels and plenty of red, white, and blue signage advertising the fact. For obvious reasons, the prices reflected the cost of goods produced in the US.
Consumers, shopping their pocketbooks, mostly ignored this stuff and made their purchases of similar goods on the basis of price. For obvious reasons, the prices reflected the cost of imported goods.
After a few months, Wal-Mart determined that the program had flopped and discontinued it.
Visit any major department store and check the labels on any garment rack. Turn over any small appliance and look at the country of origin. Will you find and 'Made in USA' tags? Only if they were made in the city of Usa, Japan.
Even the PC which brings this message to you was produced overseas and you bought it anyway, didn't you?
What is the lesson learned?
Simply this. As much as they moan and groan about NAFTA, CAFTA, factory closings, jobs being shipped overseas, etc., etc., etc. it is the US consumer, by his buying habits, who is the very cause of the distress about which he complains.
So long as purchasing decisions are made on the basis of price, mass consumer retail chains must search for goods at the lowest possible prices in order to remain competitive. To do otherwise would ensure their swift demise, which would lead to other economic problems.
What we have is a price driven, accellerating economy in which quality plays a very small role. There remains little, if any brand loyalty. Sales, discounts, and price cuts attract the consumer dollars.
You have not included the foregoing in your expansive equation. Kindly work it in and let us know its effect.
