Unfortunately, America is no longer a capitalist nation. We have more of a mixed economy. An economic system that permits private property, but only at the discretion of government planners. A little bit of capitalism and a little bit of socialism.
IMHO the return of capitalism will not happen until there is a moral revolution in this country.
