Too late to unsticky this mess.

Since capitalism is inherently amoral, regulations and a more progressive tax system are needed to clumsily attempt to provide some moral framework.

The zany deregulated free market/trade "greed is good" Milton Friedman/Ayn Rand nonsense isn't working (except for the CEO-types, who, three decades ago earned 30-40 times the income of ordinary workers, and now, (as of 2007), earn 344 times the income of ordinary workers).

Not talking about full-on socialism, but the swinging pendulum has gone too far to the right since 1980, and I think pushing it back a little is warranted.
