By choice or by circumstance? The rich profit from capitalism therefore they use their wealth to maintain the system that is benefiting them the most. The poor have to participate in varying degrees just to survive.

Look, the only thing I’m getting from you is the realization that you should not play baseball. You’re so focused on making your own point or trying to zing me that you’re missing the point entirely. I’m not disparaging your intellect, which you clearly are trying to prove to me, an internet stranger, but your need to champion for this guy for ANY reason whatsoever is off-putting.
