  The quagmire we are in right now is du partly to what happens to capitalism when the government is NOT involved. Left to their own devices, people will seek to make the most amount of money with the least amount of effort. THis creates a greater ROI, which is what capitalism is all about.
  What capitalism has nothing to do with is the actual people embroiled in it. To the idea of capitalism, the people are an abstraction, a bunch of stats on a spread sheet, potential funders. And so, those who practice capitalism to it's fullest don't give a flying fuck if they're jeopardizing peoples' nest egg, so long as what they're doing has the potential to make them rich.
  Not to say that all capitalists act this way, but without judicious, meaningful regulation from the government, those who will profit at any cost, will and can.
