    People are OK with a system that gives them a chance at becoming rich, and so long as they are successful doing it, it doesn’t matter how they did it.

    Prosperity gospel. Money = good. By the transitive property if you get money you are doing “good”.

    It’s self serving broken logic.

      So people don’t mind living in a greedy society because they are greedy? I guess the follow up question would be are the majority of people greedy and selfish with no plans to make a better future for the next generations?

          There have been quite a few red flags in global news, especially recently with the pandemic chaos but even more recently, I would hope that a literal criminal being voted in for their second term would be enough of a red flag for people to realize something might be wrong with our system?
