    Well, what you describe as not capitalism actually is capitalism…

      Theoretically, in the sort of free-market capitalism conservatives claim to espouse, the endless handouts and tax breaks to corporations would not happen.

      Part of the issue is that people like them think that the government is a business and should compete like any other business, but that is not part of a free-market capitalist system as they supposedly envision.

      Not that I agree with any of it, I’m a socialist. But, unlike them, not a socialist for corporations.

      People like to pretend a bunch of other things are part of capitalism that have nothing to do with it.
