Not a good thing to base an economic system of distribution on.

Every homeless person proves capitalism is a failure,thats why people who benefit the most from capitalism the most make a boogyman of the homeless, to scare workers with to stay at work beyond what they should tolerate at thier jobs.

Horatio Algier and rags to riches stories are the flipside of the old poor people are inferior /criminals/ lazy boogymen along with homeless is a choice bullshit

What this gaslighting does is blame individuals for not being rich while excusing the rich and making capitalism appear fair and legit when it isnt and was never meant to be fair,legit or help the not already rich.

Capitalism is made of fail.
