Capitalism shouldn’t be confused with business or anything else that’s good for you.
Simply put, capitalism is the buying and selling of someone else’s business, whether it’s the looting of companies by the Leveraged Buyout Specialists at Bain Capital, or the monopolization of a particular commodity by the likes of Enron.

Most notably, the change occurred without regard to party affiliation, with the greatest increase occurring among independent voters. That sentiment rose more than half, going from 45% to 68%. The mumber among Democrats increased 18 points to 74%, and even Republicans awareness of the rift increased 17 points to 55%.

Haaretz: Supreme Court thrusts Israel down the slope of apartheid
The High Court of Justice's ruling touches on the balance between security needs and individual rights, but the public will understand it as a demographic ruling that protects Jews while harming Arab citizens.
The High Court of Justice's ruling Wednesday on the legality of the Citizenship Law proves the erosion of this institution's role as Israel's guardian of civil rights.
