Dodice, that seems like an opinion based more on propaganda and guilt than on facts ...

A Capitalist Democracy is the only political and economic system where the distribution of wealth is based on achievement rather than arbitrary reasons; in Communism, Socialism and Fascism the distribution of wealth is based on political connections, and with Feudalism or in a Monarchy the distribution of wealth is based on a birth-right. On top of that, because the masses have the political power in a Capitalist Democracy there is a focus on eliminating corruption and exploitation which is why there is far less chance of a revolution or a bloody coup in a Capitalist Democracy than in other political and economic systems.

Certainly, capitalism doesn't reward the person who works the "Hardest"; it rewards the people who have developed a skill which is in high demand and limited supply. The janitor, warehouse worker, file clerk and receptionist all make less money than a CFO because almost everyone has the skills and knowledge to be a janitor, warehouse worker, file clerk and receptionist while there are only a few people with the education and experience needed to be a CFO. Between scholarships and student loans there is very little reason why people can not achieve a better education and/or build the skills needed to live a comfortable lifestyle except for personal choice; and claiming it is (somehow) the fault of the system that people do not achieve this is very dishonest.
