What is the future of capitalism?Reader comment on: Amazon State Sales Taxes Submitted by John Gillis (United States), Nov 16, 2017 17:34 It is unclear to me what the name of this site (Future of Capitalism) means or stands for, given that this piece is really an advocacy piece for more money in State coffers. More money in state coffers is not a very pro-capitalist viewpoint. I know, I know -- the post is about the bizarre mindset of journalists, especially in their anti-Rumpism and their attitude towards the WaPo and Bezos. However, publishing a post that has at least a half dozen "benefits" of state taxation (help the poor, feed the children, etc. etc.) and then provides "balance" with a vague reference to govt waste, isn't really an example of providing any advocacy for capitalism. But then, the site's name isn't saying it is FOR capitalism, just that it wonders what the future is, perhaps, maybe. (The above is not to say anything comprehensively negative, because it is a very good site.) Note: Comments are moderated by the editor and are subject to editing.
