This is just a list of excuses. If you live in a top 15 country in the world and complain about money then you are failing yourself - society has not failed you.

So sick of hearing BS like this - the pity-me-generation who are looking to blame other's for their lack of motivation and effort to uplift themselves. It's easier to just blame someone else.

Guess what? Most of the quadrillionaires started out with 2 pennies in their pockets.

Sitting at a job earning 12 dollars an hour as petrol clerk moaning that society has failed you isnt ever going to improve your situation: go bust arse at nightschool change career - shake hands, grease hands earn a new life for yourself.

You don't seem to understand how the world works, nor how people are arguing it *should* work.

The rich have profited off the poor for millenniums, it's not a new problem. The American economy in fact requires a 3rd-class in order for it to exist as it does. It doesn't matter if a tiny group of people are able to get lucky enough to become "quadrillionaires", that amount of wealth gap is not desirable for a society in the first place.

You argue people should be materialistic and center their entire lives around trying to earn money. Aside from the fact that it's impossible for everyone to become wealthy regardless of how hard they work, many people disagree about humanity holding this up as what's important in life. It's a very toxic mentality, one that has only ever created problems in society. Again, money is a fabrication. You hold it up as an idol, when there are more important things for people to focus on.

Stock brokers are not more valuable to society than teachers, farmers, artists, or people who work various difficult/unwanted jobs that society needs. Most large businesses are only able to exist because of the many workers who create their products, and the majority of these businesses profit from the exploitation of others in some way.

I'd suggest watching The Story of Stuff for starters.
