Capitalism no more "causes" anyone to be rich or poor than a racetrack "causues" one driver to win a race and another one to come in last. It is the individual's own efforts, abiltities, talents and determination that causes some to be rich, some poor and some middle class.

I AM confused. Am I making a substantive claim for which you expect proof, or am I speaking for others out of ignorance?

I didn't claim to - he did.

You're having reading comprehension issues, AGAIN. I am speaking of capitalism.

Whatever level of debate there was at the founding was won by those who advocated strictly limited federal government power. That's why the 10th Amendment became part of the Constitution.

"The trend is towards more social (government) institutions because capitalism continues to fail the interests of the broader population in favor of the few.

You've forgotten, again, that the debate about the power of the federal government vis-a-vis the states (never mind the individual) goes back to the founding. There is no ratio of power that is fundamental to America.

Hardly.

"Progressive" is merely another euphemism for socialism.

Fundamental American values are about limited government and maximum individual freedom.

The "values" of people who call themselves "prgressive" is 180 degrees opposite of that.

That's funny - since Democrats have been trashing the Constitution ever since FDR's unconsitutional "New Deal" and all the subsequent expansions of government power based on socialist ideology.

You can't win the governorship as a liberal in Tennessee period.

Whatever chance McWherter has would not be improved one iota by embracing the liberal agenda of Obama, Pelosi, etc. In fact it would make it significantly worse.
