Yes I read... and did you read what I wrote? Because all you have done in the examples is trying to put barriers on what people can achieve because of the "evil capitalism", while saying all cases that people won despise the supposed barriers doesn't count.

Still waiting for why someone need a 15k car instead of a 500 (if he really needs a car), how is it impossible for a group of 10 people to put together 10k to start a business (even if evidence show that a lot of people start their own business with very little money). The truth is that the easiest way is to accept a wage and work for someone that is taking the risk and profiting.

 

I'm giving you mass statistics while you're just giving anecdotal answers. Now, as to why people don't buy $500 cars, maybe it's because there aren't $500 cars for people to buy?

And again with your survivorship bias. Here's a good picture for you:

You call it survivor Bias, I call it depending on oneself instead of others. Lottery is random, effort isn't. But you may keep your world view if you so much prefer, while I'll keep looking at people that prefer short term gratification and when you look deeper have very expensive luxury but doesn't cover their basics because they will wait the government to do it.
