> Lately there seems to be a strong, veiled and (dare I say) coordinated effort to put down capitalism in the US. Has everyone forgotten what built this great country in the first place?

Sure. In rough historic order:

Slavery, genocide of the natives and theft of their land, unprecedented consumption of fossil based fuels, invention of consumerism as a culture, untouched industrial capacity after WWII and massive brain drain from developing countries.

Which ones were you referring to exactly?
