The poor stay poor, the rich get rich

An unwinnable game--like capitalism
Seems the billionaire class is worried about the future of capitalism in America.

Want to ask me how much I give a fuck about the future of capitalism in America?

After nearly forty years of wading through the muck that is working for a living in America, I can honestly say that capitalism is little more than a code word for the rich get richer and the poor stay poor.  Ever since the Reagan devolution, we've witnessed wages that haven't kept up with inflation, levels of income inequality not seen in the history of this country, CEO salaries setting records in comparison to the wages their workers earn, the number of Americans living in poverty continuing to grow, health insurance going from an employer expense to a shared expense (and the level of coverage ever decreasing), and going from the safety of a pension plan to 401ks which are subject to the whims of...rich people.

Frankly, as far as I'm concerned they can stick capitalism up their asses.  To me it's just a word like God or Santa Claus full of empty promises that help no one except the powers that be.

Socialism?  Bring it on--can't be any worse than the losing system we have now.

Fuck Donald Trump
