Bold, vibrant fecklessness.

If Mr. [Michael] Moore and his gallery of weeping victims took a closer look, they'd see their problem is not capitalism but politics. Once elected, virtually all politicians in the U.S. or Western Europe join the Not Much of Anything Party, and that includes Barack Obama, or soon will.

In the U.S., both Republican and Democratic pols define capitalism as a system with economic activity sufficient to produce campaign contributions. But that ensures income stagnation for Mr. Moore's masses.

The most immediate problem facing the U.S. is not that we have too much capitalism, but that we don't have enough of it.
