For the simple minded folk who downvoted, in the USA we believe we are free, but we're not...

Wonder if these people understand the benefits and costs of being a republic instead?

Facebook was a huge problem because they did much more than just donate money. They actually got involved and dictated certain terms of this election. Then Zuckerberg goes before Congress and repeatedly says they are not biased--give me a break. We are not that stupid.

This is a liberal canard to undermine capitalism "capitalism is no better then communism". Some truth to it, but really off the mark. At least under capitalism it's possible to make money and buy 100 types of bread. In communism you make barely enough to buy the 1 type of bread if it's even in stock.

This is stupid. Nothing about capitalism says that the government needs to be as strong and overbearing as it is. Lobbying only matters because the government took powers over time, and government employees ruled that they could. In both cases, it is the government that is the issue. If you didn't have to pay any taxes, who owns you in capitalism?
