Nonsense.

It's the realization that the game is fixed in favor of the super-rich.

If the COVID debacle didn't reveal that to you, then maybe you're too old to form new, apt, opinions.

Instead of worshipping "Capitalism," I worship Freedom.

If you know of anyone in government supporting that, please let me know.

Yes, a system of capitalism will always help the super-rich. So how did those super-rich get that way? A tiny percentage of the population inherits that kind of money.

The super-rich are the lynchpin of a good economy. They put out the seed money that builds everything. The Poor build nothing, they subtract. As net worth rises people contribute more to society through paid taxes and investments in businesses directly or through stock ownership. A tiny percentage of extremely rich people can’t spend all that money on themselves, and even the money they do spend on themselves means jobs. Somebody has to build, maintain, service and guard, clean, fly or pilot all those
homes, yachts and planes. Worrying over a tiny percentage of the population getting very rich is zero-sum thinking and a mistake, imo. I want to live in the country with the most super-rich people, the more super-rich, the more opportunities for me to be “mini-rich.”
