Shonky face of capitalism

Debra Wales is lashing the Council and former mayor Cr Chris Holstein for the inept investments of ratepayers' money.

That is all very well, but I reckon she should be lashing the shonky face of capitalism for this fiasco.

Greed is the driving force of capitalism, and while it benefits few, it causes many to live in misery and poverty.

Not to mention the rape of the earth, forest and water.

The scandals of corruption in China show the scary scene of a totalitarian state encouraging raw and aggressive capitalism.

It's a case of anything goes.

And it does, and not for the better.
