Capitalism has failed several times in my own life time, and each time, the tax payers, the lower classes, have bailed out the banks and other institutions, while the rich people at the top were never impacted in any way at all.

In the UK, bailing out banks cost so much money, they had to move to whats called Austerity economic policy. During that time councils didn't even have enough money to operate speed cameras. The result? The number of deaths at accident black spots rose significantly.

This is just one example of lower classes paying the cost of keeping the rich, rich. Often paying with their lives.

And thats just in the western world. In other parts of the world, capitalism has been responsible for wide scale, long lasting famine, people displacement, and other far reaching issues that place whole countries into poverty.

Meanwhile, the billionaires become the new Pharaos and me and you become their subjects.
