I feel that there is an underlying moral problem in society that causes the rich to always exploit the poor. It feels like if you were to shuffle people around and pick a new set of rich people, said people would be almost equally likely to screw over their fellow man. If society was more moral in general, this exploitation would be reduced.
I’d say it would parallel the results from the Stanford Prison experiment. Give one group of people everything, including the power to decide what happens to people in the out-group, and they will inevitably become hostile towards the out group.
Morality schmorality, we need universal healthcare, daycare, a progressive tax system, and much more. Once society is equitable to all, then all have equal opportunity to behave “morally.”
Does anyone actually have the tools to fix capitalism from stealing from the poor and making a few billionaires even richer?
I don’t think I do…
