I believe just as you do that everybody can be wealthy. The difference is you seem to be believe people are entitled to it. |
I have no victim mentality, but the belief that everyone can be rich is total nonsense, especially when the handful who control the majority of nation's wealth are not willingly to give up any of what they have to benefit all of the people and use bribes, pay offs, lies, deceit and unfair marketing practices to keep the next man from gaining some wealth. Look at Walmart for example, some might say their dominance is simply borne out of healthy competition but we know that isn't the case, they destroyed and put out of business a whole bunch of small businesses to get where they're at today. Try telling your "everyone can be rich too" statement to the people that once owned those small businesses. This is the very greed that capitalism perpetuates. It basically says, obtain the American dream by any means necessary, even if it means being corrupt.
