What capitalism? Where? Us, we are far from being a capitalist country. Try making a product and selling it with out the .gov's permission and tell me about capitalism.
Well, the article was describing Silicon Valley. What form of economy would you describe Silicon Valley as?
Study nations that have avidly gone into "redistribution" of wealth. No one has their standard of living raised. In actual practice a vast majority of the citizens have their assets compressed to a lower level. The elite, political, or whatever, remains the same or more often have their standards raised substantially.
Gee, can we draw any parallels here? i.e. The old Soviet Union, Cuba, Zimbabwe, et al.
Huh?
for an easy example, you might study up on why DC and its surrounding counties have been immune from the current six year recession, and experienced constant income growth and booming real estate prices.
You're not full of turkey already, are you counselor?
I'm pointing out the illogical construction of:
No one has their standard of living raised.
The elite, political, or whatever, remains the same or more often have their standards raised substantially.
So...does no one have their standard raised, or does the elite have their standard raised? It can't be both.

p/s don't be harshin' on brother Bob, he works hard for his money, redistibutin' income.
Thank you perfesser....I'll take my C- and retreat.
Roundup is correct. The only ones who make out are a select few who either A) work for gov't B) ride waves of gov't regulation either through bribes to make it happen or inside knowledge of Govt regs or C) the one-in-ten million entrepreneur who is lucky enough to have a good idea and see it through and become a billionaire.
Sycamore, do you suggest we all get Gov't jobs? Is that the key? We can surf porn all day and live off taxes.
If you want to provide for the general welfare of the citizens, you have to cut down on the non-productive (i.e. Gov't employees & those who receive transfer payments) and cut the regulations and taxes that force productive jobs to be moved overseas.

A wise man said, better to be full of wild turkey than to be full of chitt.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by the blood of patriots and tyrants.
If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.
Right its corporatism...been that for a long time...and it just eats away at the nation's wealth.
The end of democracy, and the defeat of the American Revolution will occur when government falls into the hands of lending institutions and moneyed incorporations.
