Capitalism As Chaos

TAXING THE WEALTHY, as Obama wants to do more, and raising minimum wage, can be seen as ways to redistribute wealth, which is a sacred violation of modern conservative American principles, which prefer social and economic Darwinism. The question is: without government involvement, what sort of economy would we have? The answer would seem to be: chaos. A pair of classsic novels, good entertaining stories, "The Jungle", by Upton Sinclair, and "Native Son", by Richard Wright, are good descriptions of lack of civil rights and economic survival of the fittest. The meat packing industry in Chicago in the early twentieth century and the south side of Chicago in the same time period are perfect examples of what America has been, and needs to continue, growing out of. we most assuredly must have government involvement in the economy, and indeed, the lack of government involvement may be seen as a form, a bad form, of government policy. Pure capitalism is chaos, aint it? Thank goodness have may never find out.
