Pure unadulterated capitolism has been tried in the past. That era is known as the era of the Robber Barons. It had a HUGE disparity in wealth between the ultra rich and the middle class and had enormous poverty. Today that disparity in wealth now exists between the developed nations and the so called 3rd world nations. That disparity of wealth also results in conditions that make recruitment for terrorist organizations so easy. If you have nothing to begin with it isn't difficult to throw it all away by blowing yourself up. This is also nothing new. Look at history. Czar's in Russia were assassinated by suicide bombers. World War I started by a terrorist killing a diplomat. I'm getting out of this discussion now. It may be friday, but those who forget the past are doom to repeat it.
