One of the things that those in the USA seem to be excited about is "the American dream".
This seems to be a belief that anyone can "make it" under capitalism. It is interesting that in the states of the old Yugoslavia, most I have met preferred it when all had a house and a job under Tito's liberal communism. Society was fairer.
Now, no system is faultless, but I am not in favour of greedy capitalism if this means trampling over others. I cannot condone any form of society where the rich get richer at the expense of the poor.
Yes, all should have equal opportunity, but I want to live in a fair society, where wealth and privilege do not bestow advantage.
In my view everyone is equal, whether you are a king or dustbin collector.
