"Look at this man accepting his role as an overworked and exploited member of the working class. You too should aspire to accept the toil the rich require of you so they can live in extraordinary and unnecessary luxury."
Capitalism:
-
Rewards the Rich, for being Rich
-
Praises people who allow themselves to be exploited the most
-
Punishes anyone who doesn't like the first two.

Isn’t it this way in most countries under any system?

Doesn’t mean we can’t do better!

No disagreements, but to blurt out “capitalism!” shows ignorance on the part of the person saying it.

Are you really insinuating that my comment was just me blurting "capitalism!"?
That's actually very interesting. Considering my comment is directly related to the fact that our system is rigged to funnel money to those already rich, tries to teach workers to revel in their exploitation, and shun anyone who doesn't fall into line, think about what it means that you simply thought "Well, thats just capitalism"
Think about what that means about you.

My Dad spent 32 years of his life in coal mines in Bell and Harlan Counties in Kentucky. I wish that he and my Grandfather were still here to tell their stories.

No time to even wash his face :-(
