Capitalism only works for the rich? Well, in a way, you have a point. I was born into dirt-poor poverty, and thanks to Capitalism I now enjoy a wonderful life that is in part due to my financial success. So if I'm rich now, it's because of free enterprise and America's tatse for economic freedom, not because the government handed me anything. Capitalism is GREAT! Like most social workers, it's apparent that Economics isn't your cup of tea. What's truly sad, however, is that the poor saps who have to listen to you because you're their case worker will be trapped into that poverty you mention. They need good, original ideas, not rehashed, previously failed Marxism.
