Is Capitalism Working?

Apparently, not in New Jersey.  According to its new Republican governor, capitalism can't work unless it's paid for by cuts in the pensions of the people teaching the state's children.  Well, what lesson are they going to learn from this?  That things are what they are, until a Republican decides it's politically expedient to say otherwise?  That capitalism is a system of private initiative and investment that built this great nation--but one that needs to be propped up by the government, because it doesn't really work?  Or that the Garden State really is a home for businesses--namely, the ones it can poach from New York?

This guy really can't see past the end of his nose.  Or, in his case, past the end of his waistline.  Why not cut THAT before you cut anything else?
