Talent, character and creativity will always win out. Social and entitlement programs have nothing to do with entrapment. Some people have what it takes to strike it rich or make it on their own, while others do not. Financial backing from family and friends also plays a big factor. Some have it, some don't. Not everyone is cut out to be a capitalist.

Cheap labor is what capitalism is all about, the cheaper the better to maximize profit, the heart beat of capitalism.

Immigrants are what has made this country great. Immigrants tend to be more ambitious and work harder than natural citizens. Those who are opposed to immigration want to preserve the status quo or have a problem looking at a Hispanic or brown/black face.

Free markets are an abstraction. They work in theory, but not in practice. What represents freedom for the capitalist is slavery and imprisonment for many workers.

Liberal capitalism provides every opportunity for a poor youngster to strike it rich. Some make it and take advantage of the free education and free meals. Others don't. The streets are filled with homeless people who for one reason or another failed to become a success. I understand it bothers the rich elite immensely to help pay the way for those born in unfortunate circumstances to succeed. The rich want to hoard all their money for themselves and immediate family. In fact, many rich elite love their money more than their children and wife.

The fact is that capitalism only works for a small minority of people. The rich elite want to make you think that it works for everyone, but the facts don't back that up at all. The rich elite only care about protecting their capital and making it grow to the sky. As much as they have, it is never enough. They spend their whole lives looking for tax shelters to protect their capital. Money is their god and prime motivator of life. They are devoid of compassion and feeling.
