Quote:You seem to be confused on what systems of government and systems of economics are. Our system of government is democratic republic. Our current economy is regulated capitalism. Through our government we can form the rules that the economy should be adhering to, but that's not the same as the system of government being the same as the current economic system.

 

That people are so confused about the differences between economy and governance is part of our current national problem, people don't understand that one of the functions of government is to attempt to guide the economy in a beneficial direction, not for business to dictate guiding economic conditions to the government.
