I agree that we do need to change capitalism.  I get concerned about 
capitalism when I see billion dollar companies like NIKE making shoes in 
countries like Indonesia, because they know they can get away with paying 
the employees a tenth of what would be paid in the U.S.  This is truly where 
the greedy, hoarding capitalist is taking away from the U.S. economy.  He 
can do this because he knows whether he makes his shoes in the U.S. or 
Indonesia the eager to spend American will purchase his coveted shoes.
