Unfettered capitalism. Capitalism held in check by government oversight doesn't seem possible when from supreme court justices all the way down to state senators and even 'city councils' - are bought and paid for. Notice how they haven't made an ethics package they'd have to abide by? It's because they have no ethics and don't intend to get any, either. Capitalism held in check, however, with tax rates making sure this game of "how many trillions can I take from everyone else?" - tax rates precluding the possibility of surpassing millionaire as 'top of the food chain rich'. You know, sensible.
