Addition: the greatest source of exploitation in the US is the tax structure. Sixty percent of the taxes collected go to social support programs. Very generous, yet very socialist as well. This exploits the workers. First response. The various UNIONS who are driving jobs abroad with over-priced labor contracts. Labor is exploiting management and thus destroying their source of income. This is not free market capitalism as all are consumer products with supply and demand determining prices. (excepting tariffs and subsidies for the econ majors out there.)

Using the poor for soldiers, playing on fear through advertising, charging hundreds of dollars per ticket for top-bill rock star concerts, only issuing auto-recalls when it costs less than paying for court settlements from crash victims, operating sweatshops, paying waitresses less than minimum wage because they get tips, and paying for justice.
