Capitalism really is just a ruse to make a handful of people wealthy. The average person is never going to make it.

Another smart dumb take by someone who does not know the DEFINITION of capitalism:

an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit.”

Now if a country trade and industry isn’t BEST controlled by private owners (I.e. every citizen) then who should be controlling it?

Nikka FOH :camby: I bet your dumb ass didn’t even look at the data set I posted. The average person does not know there’s only 500 people in America at the top income bracket. Talking about an wealth inequality in theory and seeing raw numbers from official government sources are two different things fukk face :camby:

The Coli is such a low information website. On Reddit, people had interesting things to say about the dataset. On here dummies like you on some everyone already knew that shyt :duck:

I think op is talking about more about the neoliberal / capitalist worldview if u work hard enough you'll make it aka be an entrepreneur,self made millionaire. And if u do certain steps, hustle hard and don't sleep I'll be like the 2 percent that make millions/ well off from their small business etc.

In reality, most will only ever be wage slaves, some will earn slightly more but still dependent on a paycheck from the owners of production etc.. and we know that the one's who make the business tick really don't make what they should.

The media and the general western ideology has made folks believe that they can make " it's with just more effort or more schooling. But in reality ,on average folks just earn to spend and show an apparence of making it and giving the money straight back.

Exactly. It’s an eye opener looking at each income bracket, seeing tens of millions of people at these low levels then seeing 10,000 people at some of the higher income brackets.

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
300 million people clawing to survive so roughly 200,000 people can earn 1 million or more :wow:

This is wage or earn income tables.

Most of the people making $1 million and up are involved in sports and entertainment.

So millions of people help fund hundreds of people who entertain us.

Just looking at the raw data, the wealth sweet spot seems to be between 200k - 300k

It’s about the survival of the fittest but the fittest is the most crooked, whitest, and/or most connected. It’s so unfair but the game is the game.

Personally, I think mixed economies that tend to provide a semblance of a balance that isn’t lopsided are the best. Not saying they’re perfect - at least they tend to give more people a chance.

The united states is a “mixed” economy and guess what?:martin:

Why you so mad :mjlol::umad:

Your title of “capitalism is a ruse to make a handful of people wealthy” is false. True capitalism places the power in every individuals hands because the the country’s industry and trade is placed in their hands. This country allowed capitalism to be rigged to where that isn’t the case though.

Your thread places the blame on capitalism and not the people who rigged it in their favor. And when I point that out you get your panties ina bunch
:unimpressed:
