Looking over the well intentioned posts in Gab I can't help but get the feeling that this country is on the fast track to a death spiral, and I'm not referring to politics (but that surely is a factor).

Corporations = evil
Greed = evil
Free market - evil, because it enables the above.
Cost of living - needs government regulation as things are out of control.
Entitlement - long over due

From each according to their ability, to each according to their need.

While these 'patriots' don't come right out and say it this is exactly what they favor.

Explaining the free market to a twenty-something is shocking. Explaining cause and effect is pathetic.
