you don't seem to understand how capitalism works. More specifically it seems you have the belief that well... actually let me just quote it.
You know though, instead of making yourself miserable with jealousy and envy why don't you invest some time into making money because that's what you're after.
So first off. I am communist (the others are likely not. So this economic system doesn't pevee them perhaps the sameway)
However. Here's how captalists take advantage of social security, steal your wage, and have loopholes.
1. Wage theft:
In order for capitalist to make profit off of say, another person. They cannot pay that person the worth they are. This fundamentally means value you are putting in, is not coming back to you, the worker.
so that comb
2. Advantage of social security and also government subsides
Most underpaying companies (and many of the big ones) do to paying their works so poorly. said workers need to rely on benefits... which comes from american tax dollars. you know... your taxes and others. Such as foodstamps, healthcare assistance, housing assistance and much more.
Then you also have the fact that many of these companies get insane subsidies or tax breaks. One of amazon's headquarters made negative taxes, in other words, the government paid them. Despite what is it again? Jeff bazo's making billions of dollars?
4. (didn't list it, but I'll list it) Capitalists have so much power over law, your vote doesn't matter
captalists have power to change law with workers/people who have not much wealth can't. There's been multiple studies conducted showing that capitalists, those who make insane wealth and money, also happen to have the strongest influence on if a bill or not passes. It's not considence that often People near the top of the company or chain, end up in government, and instead of protecting the people or public, work to double down on said companies to everyone but to not their detriment. Which honestly leads to another thing
5. Yeah those loops holes definitely exist, and it's not because some careless lawmaker was there, it was likely pushed in by a capitalist.
Given that you clearly don't understand how these loopholes exist, or what the loophole is. I am going to safely assume you have not watch the video. If you had, you'd probably change your mind in a heartbeat.
They need to give me half of what they make and for no other reason other then the fact that I don't get as much as they do. Now, how well do you think that will go over? You know, me demanding they give me money?
this right here to a communist what I stated above, is why this is fundamentally false. let's use some real life(ish) numbers for scale.
most americans do not make over 20,000 dollars per year. You may state "well the average is much higher than that) reality is though average doesn't take into account statistical outliers on either end of the spectrum. And in this case the statistical outlier is the people ontop. Who has millions, not thousands, millions.
So say instead, your bushiness has 10 workers. all of which is being paid at 20,000.(let's just make the exception)this is btw, 10 dollars per hour, 40 hours per week, and all 52 weeks worked. so realistically this number is less when we consider holidays. so let's go ahead and multiply that by ten. So these ten workers combined, make 200,000 per year. However, this company or whatever the fuck, has made a net profit for the CEO or reinvestment of 20 times the amount these workers made combined.
That would essentially mean the CEO is not paying these workers what they are worth by an obscene ratio. This? what I just described, is EXACTLY what is happening in the United States. Workers add millions to even billions of dollars of combined value. and only get a a 50th of it back. with little to no support. 10 dollars an hour isn't enough for most homes.

What do you suggest then? The OP keeps making himself miserable or do you suggest that rich people owe the OP some of their money?
Actually, yes I would say the rich owe us money. They aren't paying us our full value. If they did, they would go even. And even then, as I stated before, they don't pay their fair share on taxes, and in somecases get paid by the government, because they have a strong influence on the government as well.
You know though, instead of making yourself miserable with jealousy and envy why don't you invest some time into making money because that's what you're after. It's really not that hard of a thing to do. I mean, if that's what you want from life.
I could careless about money. Like if your thinking that I'm some random ass guy who wants to be rich because MONEY. No. The only reason I care is because literately my peers and I aren't paid enough, and barely survive on a thread with little to no comfort, all because a business owner is exploiting us for their own gains. And we have cooperation wanting us to pay EVEN MORE when and where ever possible.
