We already knew you are a complete fucking moron when it comes to history and economics. You are beyond stupid when you try to opine about BOTH at once.http://www.economist.com/node/21564414
Russian capitalism is corrupt because the (ex-)communists strove to keep control of the major assets in the economy when they lost power in the early '90s. They corrupted the privatizing process to concentrate and tilt ownership of key industries into the hands of their cronies. Putin also corrupted the legal system to let him jail oligarchs he doesn't trust. There is no reliable rule of law, no takings clause or due process rights protecting individual private ownership from capricious seizure and redistribution.
None of which bears any resemblance to real, rules-based capitalism as practiced in developed Western economies. Originally Posted by lustylad

One does not have to be very smart to be able to follow the money, unfortunately we have a nation of folks not very smart in this regard.
Money is where the power is....Banking, Oil and the vast military industrial complex and one could make case for insurance companies run this country.
Trump wants to silence his critics....just like Putin. If the powers that be ever do silence the media , game over.
