Capitalism is a distraction from the government, the system.
You struggle all your lives hoping to make millions and billions.
You are cool with not having the basic amenities that the government should be providing you.
No light, just buy a big Generator, bad roads, buy a jeep.
You fix the big problems for yourself on an individual level, hell yea, you can afford it, for now.
They pitch a few poster boys, you admire their lives, you want to be like that billionaire, this billionaire so you keep at it.
What you don't know is, in this country, only a few actually make it, the poster boys of capitalism usually don't climb the legitimate capitalist ladder to success.
By the time some catch up to this game, they are tired, spent, can't fight to adjust economic disparity anymore.
Their children are growing now, some of them are still distracted by capitalism and the cycle continues.
I'm not a socialist cunt, I dig personal accumulation of wealth.
It's good to admire Ferraris, but I'm saying that's not the most logical reason to wanna become rich.
And then, your wealth will stink if everyone else around you is poor.
