Capitalism.
What is happening with farmers isn't capitalism.
Farming has been socialism ever since the depression.
When the government pays farmers to not farm their land for the only reason to manipulated or control the means of production to keep the price of a commodity at a certain level, that's socialism.
That is the government controlling the means of production.
According the arguments we are a Capitalist country, not a Socialist one so what you say can't be true based upon that argument.
Anyone can argue that we are a capitalist nation.
Doesn't make it true.
We are a hybrid of both capitalism and socialism.
Farming is just one example.
The military, police, EMT, fire department, libraries and so much more are socialism.
I was pointing out that those who hate socialism are some of the biggest abusers and benefit the most of socialism.
