5. Gaming the system

I blame greedy and selfish people more than the economic system that is used. Any style of social system will be corrupted by those who seek gain at the cost of others.

7. Of course you do -

that is the only way to make a pyramid scheme work. Capitalism is inherently unequal and only rewards greed and selfishness. When you reward certain attributes that is the behavior you will get. Simple psychology. You're not fooling anyone.

8. What do you mean by "fooling?"

My opinion is that any socioeconomic system can be gamed by those in it for gain.
What are you trying to imply with your statement "You're not fooling anyone"?

tends to create a permanent caste system in which there is decreasing upward mobility and the few who inherit everything are increasingly useless parasites who never need to work or learn how to do anything. Some end up in Congress and even the White House.
