there is a constant struggle between the needs of the person and the needs of the many. Capitalism is the system which rewards a person for their own achievement, and allows sociatal movement. a person can come from nothing, and achieve more than most ever dream. You are correct that there is a growing gap between the "haves" and the "have nots", but this situtaion is global. I don't know of a society where this gap is not growing. However, I would rather have the ability to determine the outcome of my life, rather than rely upon the government.

That's why I play powerball!!!
