This makes "moving up" nearly impossible for a majority, which leaves them struggling to avoid poverty and working harder for disproportionately less than their wealthy counterparts. Capitalism also harms the consumer by disguising deregulation as "competition" and "innovation," when in reality most of the top companies avoid innovation and expanding infrastructure and try to buy out the competition (see: Big Oil, Big Telecom, Big Banks). The call for deregulation also opens up the door for harmful business practices and damage to communities and the environment (see: Leaded paint, leaded gasoline) Luckily we don't live in pure, unregulated capitalism, but there are groups of people who want to move that way. There are also groups who want even more protection and power to the consumer as a stronger check to the influence these companies hold --- Rainbow Dashing: "it's just star wars" AutumnEspirit: *kissu* ...
