Well, now I understand one reason why your arguments are so often incoherent. You do not know the definition of capitalism as practiced (or as it is SUPPOSED to be practiced) in the United States:
Quote:
Free market capitalism consists of a free-price system where supply and demand are allowed to reach their point of equilibrium without intervention by the government. Productive enterprises are privately-owned, and the role of the state is limited to protecting property rights.

(Wikipedia)
Capitalism does not mean that the government distributes cash handouts to whichever corp can exert enough pressure on Congress. Even Ayn Rand understood that, for crying out loud, and she didn't understand much.

There is no "public health" issue, that is a total straw man argument, what crap. Is this where you cry?

You seem to have flunked science, in addition to civics. The problem
is "crap." If you have people using alleys, parks and other public places to relieve themselves, you are encouraging the spread of disease, including such killers as cholera. Tax payers are better off installing a few porta potties.
