With respect, I believe that he does understand capitalism, and the economy, but I think he sometimes tries to mask his socialist intentions, and in doing so he sounds inept.
For example, in last night's speech in Houston, he said that believed in a free market, but that when a CEO makes in 10 minutes what a worker does in a year (paraphrase), that there is a problem and that needs to change.
That doesn't sound like a free market to me.
I think he is trying to channel some of the intent of JFK, without the substance to back it up (examples are serving your country/community). Worse, he is trying to mix that intent with his socialist agenda, and too many of his supporters don't see past the platitudes to the worker's paradise he wants to create...or the grave damage that it would do to this country.
