Within a capitalistic republic, for one party to rise or profit, another must fall or lose what they have. Evidence indicates that within the leadership of a republic, there are those willing to push the very citizens they claim to serve; including disabled veterans who devoted their lives to that service; to the brink of suicide to preserve their own power or profit.

At the same time, the evidence supporting these unethical, corrupt, and cowardly actors shows they have placed their lust for political influence and material wealth above the safety, dignity, liberty, and pursuit of happiness of the people they swore to protect.

Beneath our polished clothing, our illusions of sophistication, our entitlement, and our arrogance, we remain animals capable of devouring one another for gain. The evidence suggests that capitalism, at its core, is nothing more than an agreed-upon framework of laws that sanctifies socially acceptable forms of interpersonal exploitation in the pursuit of profit.
