This is so twisted. If we didn't have capitalism you would be hearing "Let them eat cake!" Wake Up, do you want to go back to One King & Queen! Through capitalism anyone can advance themselves by having the freedom to do so. If you choose to stay a worker then be happy with your choice in life, because you have a CHOICE. Don't tell me some people don't, you and only you are responible for your destiny. No more stinking you had out, work at whatever job(s) you can get and strive for your dream, I did! Let the truly needed get help not the lazy!

"I don't think I agree?" What don't you think or is it just a blank statement?
