I know they system is somewhat rigged but you'll never get anything perfect. it is what it is. If you work hard, have some brains and you're persistent, you can not only make it, but be very successful.

I think you see a lot of "downtrodden" brown people here in poverty and think it's the rigged system and evil whitey at work here, but it has to do with people that simply cannot function in 1st world societies. Yeah the system isn't perfect, but it's not broken.


Please show me where in history have people been better off with socialism or communism rather than capitalism

These lists prove you wrong.

The problem is with so much wealth in the hands of so few, they wield too much political power. Power over taxation systems, the ability to hire people to avoid paying taxes, to avoid employing people, to move jobs out of the West into Third World countries, but tax avoidance is top of the list. If they don't pay, you have to. https://www.google.com/search?ei=nSd....1l8cV oTOw0I

Or the country sinks into a sea of debt.
