A very small handful of people controlling everything while they dangle the carrot "you can be like us" in front of the rest. Of course you cannot have upward mobility when 1% owns 50%. Of course they "give away money" to help keep the poor from completely rising up and overthrowing the rich bastards.
It's called education.

I gush about "poor people starving" and give out 3 million to help pay for food. People buy food and at least half of the money comes back to me. Im now considered a "great man" because who could ever dream of giving 3 million to help the poor?
In reality I am the reason why they are poor. I have cornered many markets, and I never once worked a day in my life. My money works for me now. I got it from my family who cornered the market years and years ago.
Or like in Oklahoma where only a small group of families own the oil in the state, and if they find a well in your property, then they can put up a pump on your property and give you around 10% or less of the profit.
No, capitalism is almost perfected. Capitalism is clearly the few having the mass of welath while the masses have the fewest of wealth.
Capitalism depends on intelligence. If all are educated then all can be successful, but if only a few are educated then only a few are successful.

Are you suprised? Im not.
Why are the rich to blame? Give the poor education and allow them to accomplish what the successful have accomplished.
It's quite unfortunate to see individuals beg for money saying that they were robbed of their retirement or that they were misguided in their decision making. The only person they have to blame is themselves.
For the individuals working menial jobs making wages which barley support themselves... perhaps you should have invested in education early in your career.
Personally, I'm going to be over $200,000 in debt, but i'm not complaining about it. I'm going to pay for my education and I'm going to apply it so that I can make vast amount of money.
Brevity is the soul of wit.
