"Capitalism" - does it even exist?

"Free enterprise" - I know that exists for small business people...when they're not being pounded into the ground by taxes, fees and government regulations.

What does most definitely exist at the "highest" levels is Crony Capitalism.

Packaging poisons as food? No problem.

Defrauding the Pentagon to the tunes of hundreds of billions of dollars? No problem.
