26. Capitalism is a reflection of those who make use of it....

Imagine if everyone only paid for those things that they really needed and saved all the rest of their money. Imagine also if capitalists (regular store owners as well) decided to keep prices as low as possible so that the money that was saved could go further. We would be living like socialists, but people would still have savings to draw on.

The system is ruined by those at the top taking advantage of those in the middle and at the bottom. There needs to be balance restored, and that's why we have the 99% movement.
