Capitalism is game, it isn't hard to play, just takes strategy. But too each their own.

You are just saying random things now. As many expressed here, some of us are doing well here and we still think things could be better for more than just "me". It's like being straight and still fight for LGBT rights. Simple. 

As for "Taxing the rich/Taxing the poor" point, I have been reading books like the Big con and Moonshot economy, and they changed my position on championing either side of the aisle. I have no problem with a small government that want to lower taxes but has a plan to raise living standards for everyone by making housing as affordable as it used to be. You can live in a high tax economy and have similar problems to the ones faced in a lower tax economy. 

Give me a government with a plan, goals, missions and I will vouch for it. All we have had for decades is reactive governments allowing problems to happen and then campaign on solving those problems. Raising taxes or lowering aren't plans, neither is  "I am for big or small" governments. You can be for a lower tax economy and fight for the less fortunate to have better lives and the viable dreams of owning a house within a reasonable timeframe (not signing slavery contracts for lives).

Relax, we're not after you. But we are not pretending the current system is working for the people, far from it.
