the rich are too rich and the poor are too poor....a system like that will only sustain itself for so long.

well it sustained itself a lot longer than any alternatives that have been tried....

Capitalism is reworked Feudal system since the Industrial Revolution of the late 18th century. 

Capitalism  neo-feudalism in a nut shell. The hierarchial order system is still their to maintain status quo of socio-economic . Kings & Queens, Aristocrats, nobles,guards, serfs, slaves and peasants get new titles. 

Socialism(Israeli Kibbutz system), Marxism(Mao's China and Stalin's Russia and Eastern Bloc) , National Socialism(Hitler's Nazi Germany), Social Capitalism, Communism(Kampuchea: Pol Pot), Anarchism(nation with no government) and other social engineering experiments have trialled and failed with devastating consequences and huge loss of life.
