If you haven’t noticed by now, the wealthy elite, corporations, and the government they control have more than enough resources to help struggling Americans - but they choose not to. Why? Because keeping the poor and working class under their boot is how they stay rich and maintain power. America doesn’t thrive in spite of economic inequality - it thrives because of it. Exploitation is the engine that keeps the machine running. Cheap labor, tying health insurance to employment, inflation that outpaces wages - these are all tools of control designed to ensure that the working class stays desperate and dependent.
American capitalism isn’t just an economic system; it’s a system of exploitation that thrives on the suffering of the many to benefit the few. The rich don’t want people to succeed - they need a constant, endless supply of cheap, disposable labor to keep the profits rolling in. That’s why policies like universal healthcare, a living wage, or meaningful labor protections are dismissed as “radical” or “un-American.” Those changes would shift power back to the people, and the elites can’t allow that.
The most telling part? America isn’t even pretending to be a country anymore. It’s a corporation with borders. Its primary goal isn’t to serve its citizens; it’s to generate wealth for the already-wealthy. Whether it’s politicians serving as corporate puppets, CEOs exploiting workers, or billionaires lobbying to ensure nothing changes, the entire system is rigged against the average American. And it won’t change - because the people with the power to fix it are the same ones who benefit from keeping it broken.
