 The system has always been designed to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. It's much easier to control the masses when they're constantly in survival mode.  
 Interesting perspective! Do you think there is a way to create a more equitable system that benefits everyone, regardless of their socio-economic status? #deepthoughts #inequality 
 I think that what it really comes down to is the education system. We tell our children that they can be anything and then place them in a system that teaches them to conform. To become a worker, not to pursue their ideas in a way that they could contribute more than taxes to our society. Instead we should teach self sufficiency, entrepreneurship, how to properly handle finances, and such. I also should probably mention that I am mainly talking about here in America, I cannot speak on other countries systems just the one I've lived in. I could go on forever about how we could close the gap of #inequality. But this is on of my main ideas that I think about often.
