It is, at this point.

Eliminate the "cor****ate system" and the US standard of living would
quickly drop to that of the 3rd world (even Communist China has
discovered that it needs big business and capitalism in order to raise
its standard of living).  Maybe lower, since 3rd worlders have become
used to making do, while Americans are spoiled rotten.

I don't much like big cor****ations, but I don't see much of an
alternative.
