"Unregulated capitalism is not a pretty sight, which is why we have labor laws, environmental regulations, health and safety standards, unions, much-eroded consumer protection laws, and other checks on the system.
Barring a few glitches, like the fact that corporations keep buying our government, this is not a bad deal for lots of us, and it's not capitalism's job to help those who don't have enough power to deal with the system.
It would be helpful, however (from a PR standpoint, if nothing else), if corporations would quit picking on poor people in particular."
(Molly Ivins)
