Capitalism is an amoral thing, it doesn't care of you live or die. Predatory is a good word — if you remove too many constraints against (figuratively) eating other people it become profitable to do so. And the rule in capitalism is always "follow the money."

It seems like the civilized parts of the world have figured that out. American conservatives have decided predatory markets are just fine — if some people have to suffer to make it easier for a billionaire to become a multi-billionaire, then so be it!
