In all actuality, the U.S. isn't as entirely capitalist as everyone seems to think it is. On a scale from 1-10, 1 being communistic and 10 being capitalistic, the U.S. only ranks about a 7. Places like Singapore, which is almost 100% capitalist, are typically worse off than we are, just as the almost 100% communist countries (North Korea, for example) are.
The only government that will function correctly is one that is in the middle ground, ranking about a 6/10 (such as Germany).
It's kind of like extreme political standpoints: The liberal is an idiot, the conservative is a fucktard, and the only one that makes any sense is the middle-man - the moderate.
