It's OK to Be Angry About Capitalism by Bernie Sanders

This sounds like an election manifesto from the beginning till end, and its a good thing because it tells you how author looks at a particular problem, and what are his plans to tackle it.

Capitalism being bad is a very relative point, which means, whether it is good or bad depends on where do you see it from. And its not just filthy rich who thinks its good but even the relatively affluents, and youngsters starting fresh aspire to be on the right side of capitalism. All the arguments against capitalism sound great until we reach at the point of action. And did anybody say trickle down?

If change in taxation system could work we'd have never seen so many tax fugitives or tax camouflage. Anyone who sees that this is unprecedented just need a primer from history. Anyone who thinks this will change needs second thoughts.

This is not something that a system can fix and it will never happen with a change of heart. This is a long process where every step counts, but who knows by the end of the tunnel, there is another tunnel.

The rich will remain rich or even get richer irrespective of the policies (until they really screw up on their own). The system which is not designed to serve the rich has enough loopholes to keep them rich, and be a blocker only for the aspirational (which has been overcome by a lot of youngsters who start humble and end up being in the same soup). And the worst part is that the rich will feel magnanimous and worthy of what they have achieved without being aware of at whose expanse. The thirst for wealth and power is never quenched.
