I don't see an alternative either, but distribution of capital has to happen sooner of later, based on what is the real question.
Except we do not have a capitalist system. We have a corrupt 'kleptocracy'. The system is designed to defraud and penalise normal people and funnel all assets to the 1% In a capitalist system, if a business fails ... it fails. In this kleptocracy, when businesses fail, they get bailed out by the taxpayer. It is 'Socialism' for the rich. You only need to look at JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs etc etc. The people who brought the world to its knees and walked away with billions. The people who make it possible are the likes of Greenspan, Geitner, Bernanke, Obama, Bush, Reagan, Clinton etc It is meticulously documented and easy to understand. It was and is a massive fraud/theft by the people who run America. When I say they walked away with billions that is no hyperbole. And where do those billions come from... they are sitting on the national debt which you, your children and your grandchildren and their children must pay for. When Bush bailed out the banks with taxpayers money by doubling the National debt... what was the first thing the bankers did... Naturally they took billions for themselves. When Obama bailed out the car manufacturers with the peoples money, what did they do?... the same... and move all the factories abroad for good measure.

This is the scenario seen in almost everyplace no matter how developed the country is. But I do not think many people care about what is happening as they are too busy with their own lives. The government should take up the necessary steps to take care of their wealth balances. It should ensure for the equality of people which is lacking in many places.
Well that makes it just as tough. If you have one or more persons working with you to achieve the same goal, its always easier. I'm working with a friend right now on a website. We have the same visions not to get super rich, but just enough to live care-free without the 9-5. So its easier for us to get along because we have the same goal.
I agree entirely Shilpa; it happens all over the world. The difference with America is that it has a worldwide impact more than say the Sauds keeping most of the money for themselves or Mugabe's plundering s etc. But another big difference is that 'The West' is supposed to be this shining example of 'democracy and freedom' but it is a massive lie. Ok, it may be worse for the people in N.Korea or Zimbabwe but that is not the point. It doesn't mitigate the fact that our 'democracy' is in fact a criminal monopoly run by banksters through puppet politicians and the state is there to 'appropriate' the wealth from the masses and give it to the elite. These 'elite' or 'super criminals' are above the law because they make the laws and they make them in their favour. It needs to change Most people, as you say, are too busy trying to survive, ( you call it "too busy with their lives") Democratic Governments, 'elected by the people for the people' should institute regulations to to make this happen. Instead they have de regulated to allow the fraud.
There's nothing to be done, things will surround this vicious circle as long as there is brutal capitalism.
