I personally think capitilism leads to the breakdown of society, but that's my PoV. Not intented as a flame.

I agree that this is the current state of the US. But then, it's the state of the rest of the world, too. So it's not really qualified as a criticism of America. I also think your analysis is wrong. The problem is not too much capitalism, but too little. Corporations exploiting government power to beat down better competitors and get subsidies from tax money is not capitalism. In pure capitalism this would not be possible as government power would be too limited. The US was the best experiment in trying to give people liberty so far. Even though it didn't work out as planned, it's still the best we have today.
But I would love to see a place where individual rights would actually be respected and considered inalienable. All we have had to this day were approximations that turned worse and worse.
