Teapot Dome scandal - WikipediaGovernment meddling is not capitalism. It's socialism. The Teapot Dome scandal is an example of government corruption. How is capitalism responsible for that?
The Teapot Dome scandal was a bribery scandal involving the administration of United States President Warren G. Harding from 1921 to 1923.
"Secretary of the Interior Albert Bacon Fall had leased Navy petroleum reserves at Teapot Dome in Wyoming, and two locations in California, to private oil companies at low rates without competitive bidding."
Crony capitalists meddle in government by bribing politicians for favorable tax and investment policies. Virtually any example of "government corruption" you can find stems from capitalists providing bribes to politicians, and you blame government?
No looting of state owned property under Communism, eh comrade?
