With Capitalism, yes, there are a few people on top with wealth, but that's because for the most part, they have worked hard and have come up with an idea that no one else has. Think Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Ken Howery - founder of PayPal, Pierre Omidyar - founder of ebay, Michael Dell, etc.
And think of the "Rockefeller COUISNS" as they are called, and the dimwitted spawn of the dimwitted heir to the illegal gains oi the Fred Trump fortune. How about the Hilton girls?
Capitalism at its best.
What other forms of government do you think are best?
As for the Rockefeller cousins, how are they making your life miserable? They're not - people are just jealous they weren't born with a silver spoon in their mouthes.
I think about it this way - as long as I don't have to eat out of a garbage truck and have the opportunities to make my own dime, I really don't care.
Socialism at its best is taking from *everyone* and redistributing. The winner is whomever gets to redistribute.

You are not addressing the poster as to his/her point that many of the top percenters are people may have not EARNED their monies. Most of the people you mentioned, "Bill Gates, " et al, did not inherit money to become rich as you said. But there are many people who great wealth and have not done much to earn it or have the luxury to make more, because their financial set point is higher than every one else at birth. THEY have much more power than the rest of us. (Lobbying, political contributions, etc., etc.) Nothing about envy.

Absolutely, the fallacy of modern American Socialists is that they clearly have no comprehension that the things they wish to redistribute would not exist without Capitalism. Socialism imparts an entitlement complex on the masses where people come to believe that they deserve an equal share of things they never worked for.
Will someone please tell me how this certifiable crackpot, AOC, got into Congress ? It boggles the mind.
An arrogant man called Crowley who thought that he was Jesus Christ so didn't need to do any outreach to his constituents, or even campaign. He screamed "I am the Boss of Queens". Well AOC and her hipster friends soon proved him wrong.
Only 12% turned out and AOC won just under 60%. The remaining 88% probably didn't know t6at there was an election and many didn't even know who Crowley was because he was more obsessed with replacing Pelosi than outreaching to his constituents.
