Wow! Hellofva 2nd post!
You make some points, but while I'm not "rich", I can tell you every dime I've made has been the result of my own hard work - I've spent my entire career in sales, and have never exploited anyone (often, I'm the one who has felt exploited, but thats another post).
Whatever success I've enjoyed has come throgh a direct result of my efforts, not on the backs of the "oppressed masses".
I also never had to take a minimum wage job, because I got an education, worked hard, and developed as much talent as the good lord gave me, which allowed me a very comfortable living - but through my own efforts, not through inheritance, or on the backs of anyone else.
Despite our current economic problems, I still have faith in the system that has made our country the best in the world.
Warts, problems, things that could and should be better? Sure; but in my 54 years on this earth I've not seen a system that should replace ours.
And I have faith that the opportunities are still available here in America.
