C_J but isn’t US capitalism’s whole model based on keeping the poor down so the rich get richer? (Or at least its morphed into that). And using the poor workforce to keep that model moving? Plenty of evidence to show the system is decrepit and although it might work for some, it’s a cancer that has diluted cultures all over the planet leading to wars and shocking poverty. I can’t see how we need more of it if I’m honest. Unchecked greed is not a healthy system. I’ve heard the argument before how it leads to innovation etc etc but it’s out of balance in 2020.
Oh and just to add, migrants flocking to the US to see if they can jump on the American Dream is a fanciful notion from the 1950s. It isn’t the same country it was and although they may be safe from marauding warlords or tyrannical regimes, the large majority still live close to the poverty line.
