Capitalism sucks!
It just sucks less than any other system.

Capitalism works for a moral people. We are not a moral people. Government exists to set limits on capitalism.

There are far worse examples of greed than Exxon. I can't remember the details, but there is a health-care exec, or insurance co exec that makes something over $3000 a minute- (based on a 40 hr week, but he is salaried, of course). That is ridiculous. NoOne can possible ( in my world) , have that kind of value to the company. He is at fault for demanding it; the Board of Directors is at fault for paying it. Why are there not stock holder suits against such criminal behavior?
