We delve into the topic of inequality in this video. This debate has really picked up steam the last 10 years, and the pandering of the mainstream media to the general populous regarding this issue is quite detrimental to the actual problem. If you want more of the spoils in a capitalistic society you better be exceptional or "unequal" in nature relative to your competition.
Therefore, blaming others for a lack of success in life is a waste of energy. In the end life has consequences for the choices we make throughout our journey in this world.
Human beings are inherently unequal, life is inherently unfair, and a capitalistic society is a reflection and promotion of these truths. That isn't to say that charitable aspects and a degree of basic humanitarian and social elements don't hold value within a capitalistic society. They do. They have a complementary role in improving the overall quality, structure and health of a functioning capitalistic model.
But the degree of finger pointing, class warfare, and outright jealousy for those who routinely make better decisions in life is not constructive. More time should be spent on promoting values within a society that lead to more accountability in life.
