Except capitalism is a zero sum game. The two people you talk about that are multimillionaires are lucky. For each person you know that has made it, there are thousands of people that are equally as hardworking/talented but are destined to slum away for the rest of their lives.

All human beings deserve to live a happy life. We live in a world where few have accumulated more capital than they could ever spend in their lives while others starve to death.

I don't think anyone with a good moral conscience can support America's brand of capitalism. We live in a world where few live, the rest survive.

Did you consider that people get rich by creating companies that afford people jobs? That is a positive sum game.
