1) Walmart and other big retail stores would NOT continue to exist if they didn't provide what the people want. They are not evil, they are not world-dominating, they are simply a company. The second any other store can beat their prices/convenience/location they would be out of business (look at K-Mart).
2) People are predictable only when you give them stacked choices. The majority of people would rather buy the same item for less rather than going to a smaller store who may not even have the item, only to pay more. Walmart works because they have damn near almost everything, and at prices that at LEAST match the competition.

And what makes capitalism so great? Because of the lies that they tell - any man can make it big, any one with enough good work ethic and a good idea can be the next president.

Yeah, that IS what makes capitalism great. Have you ever heard of Wendys? How about Microsoft? How about Dell? Yeah, all of these were started/owned/ran by highschool dropouts who happened to have A) a good idea and B) talent.
No, not every moron can be a CEO, sadly someone has to clean toilets. The difference is in capitalism you have a CHOICE how far you wish to push yourself.

Let them start their revolution and if they ask for assistance then please, by all means, go and help them.

Yeah, they did, in '92. Unfortunately we gave them the blind ear. Thousands were killed, and tens of thousands were tortured.

Doing that is no better than Napoleon or Constantine. That is raising and empire.

Except we dont plan on keeping the territory. We have lost Hundreds of Thousands of people helping out the world to keep free lands free, and the only land we have asked for in the last 100 years is enough land to bury our dead. I'm sorry but that is not an empire, it is a powerful country who tries to defend the weak.
