After 46 years, learning, traveling, experiencing, and now having wisdom, I'd say the Founding Fathers grossly underestimated how corrupt and greedy people would be.
The intelligence and education of the populace would definitely have to be taken into account. Less intelligent people do better with Socialism vs Capitalism for obvious reasons. The general intelligence of the average citizen in the U.S. is significantly lower over the last 25 years. This was purposely done as everyone is more easily managed.
Pre year 2000 I'd say if all things being equal for everyone capitalism with certain things ran by the state would be ideal, I no longer believe that. I believe in free enterprise, and a corporation is not a person and has no business being allowed to fund campaigns. That was the beginning of the end of America. Anyway, now people are orders of magnitude less intelligent, more unhealthy and just generally more clueless than ever. There needs to be social safety nets more than ever. The soulless would prefer a culling. The corruptive nature of man means there'll always be rich and poor under capitalism. And even then, the greed of the oligarchs will always lead to battles vs the employees and left wingers. It's baked in. The laws look good on paper but in practice it's much different because of corruption and fear and greed. At the moment. I'm 55% capitalism 45% socialism. The nature of man, especially in a country as diverse as the U.S will always exploit the poor with capitalism as the chosen system. A look at the last 50 years in this country proves im right.
38 trillion in debt in a fractional reserve fiat system. The only reason the dollar is a thing or has worth is our faith in it. And we dragged the whole world with us. What's next is worse.
