Capitalism.

If you take the time to see what's going on around you, you realize a lot of flaws in the way our country is run.
I saw it while watching the film Super-Size Me today: we have this thing called capitalism in this country.

Hey, liberal market economy, weeeeeee. The whole idea of capitialism sounds awesome.
BUT, not the way we do it in America.
We took that idea and made things like
Wal-Mart
McDonald's
BK
Starbucks
etc.
Which, in turn, only take away the business of small business owners, (WHICH, might I add have the best quality) and creates a society and economy ruled by large, mass-producing companies such as these.

Sounds GREAT.

So there's my economy lesson for today.
