than an average person would be with no limitations in a dysfunctional system.

A system with no limitation to the obtainment of economic power for the individual is a dysfunctional system dedicated to consuming itself, I view that as evil.

It's not built for the long haul nor the "general welfare."

Thanks for the thread angrychair
