Capitalism is simply BIG fish (Corporations) eating Little fish (small business), Walmart and big box stores are the killer of small business enterprises.
When was the last time you went into a small family run business. I type this as I sit in a Starbucks, I will head to Walmart after to pick up some supplies and then I have to go to the Mercedes dealer to pick up a part. In my suburb, LOWES has opened up a big box store down the street from Home Depot. I prefer to go to the little hardware store close to my house, I wonder how much longer they can hang on for.
I disagree with the Microsoft example, on the surface they like to paint them as a small enterprise that became big. It is alot more complex than that, I don't have the desire to get into it now.
It has nothing to do with middle class, everything in life is done to squeeze the middle class. The Rich generally pay less tax than the middle class through tax schemes and breaks. The poor usually get tax breaks and money for having children. The middle class finance this on both ends.

It's_my_time, you will have to provide a link or a book where you got this capitalism quote. You are slowly slipping away from the issue at hand by debating terms that mean the same thing. My point is, the governments ALLOW these refugees to come into the country. There is no 'slipping in' per se. You may have a few leaks per se..but it's one of those 'turn a blind eye' since these guys are going to be sopping up the cheap slave labour in the country. On paper, they tell you that they don't know how Jose got in past the border but that's just rhetoric to have you complaining at the man inside of the club instead of the club owner who took a handoff to let these extras inside.

@rudebwoy - Yes, that's capitalism, as cold as it sounds. Let me ask you this then:
When you want to buy something, like a laptop, don't you look for the best value - lots of what you want for less money? Or do you willingly pay more for the exact same laptop, with the workers even being treated the same in either case?
If you want to pay more for a laptop so that the workers are paid more, that's fine - that's something you value, and more importantly, that you're backing up with hard currency.
As I alluded to in my edited post, capitalism (reality) doesn't care about things like illegal immigration, refusing to pay benefits, outsourcing, etc. It only cares when they produce value to others, like you and me. Sometimes ideas get undervalued, but that's where the profit is.
Look, it would be great if we lived in a utopia. But just like we've never have and never will live in a utopia where girls mate with nice guys purely out of charity (as opposed to societal pressure, which I would argue is necessary), we never have, and never will, live without capitalism.

It's_my_time, my advice to you as a brother would be to get your Spanish on fleek. I trust Trump as much as I trust his toupee to stay in one place in a hurricane.

I will let you have the last word bro!
You are young, so you will learn. The more things change is the more they stay the same.
Be prepared, no one knows what is coming around the corner.
Time for me to work, see if I can make money on WTCO.

Talking bad about Donald Trump, how dare you!? Hopefully your warning level won't go up...

Sometimes I wonder, do these immigrants, do they really prefer their Haiti or Pakistani shithole?
Is it perhaps such that they do really not have the desire to lift themselves above tribal neolithic life? Perhaps they simply don't desire civilization?
How else can we explain that they continue to live like savages in London, one of the greatest and most modern cities of history. Would they rather live in squalor than admit the inferiority of their culture.
