I've never said that capitalism has been hurting us since day one. My assertion is that it is time to move on from it in it's current form (largely based on trickle-down economics).

So although you agree that Capitalism has been so hugely successful in changing the scope of living conditions that a 50 or 100 year comparison to our past is completely useless, you think it's time to be done with it?
Totally bizarre.
