"Our real enemy is not the ones living in a distant land whose names or policies we don't understand.

"The real enemy is a system that wages war when it's profitable, the CEOs who lay us off our jobs when it's profitable, the Insurance Companies who deny us Health care when it's profitable, the Banks who take away our homes when it's profitable.

"Our enemies are not several hundred thousands away. They are right here in front of us." - Mike Prysner, Iraq War Veteran

By insisting that some 'bad actors' are the source of problems you give a pass to the economic system which is the real culprit.

Why don't you tell us why you want to do that?

The color is nice though.

So, I take it that you do not think that the current economic system is the culprit?

Tell me what you like about capitalism. Tell me why you carry water for the ruling class.
