Dont' be so eager to put yourself down and take what you have to say and look at it in a negative light. I believe that there is merrit to what you are saying and that those with more money tend to have a larger influence over the government and people than poor people do. But I don't believe that that will ever change. At least not while we are living in a capitalist society like we are now. We live, eat and sleep money. Everything that one does is about capital gain and survival. I never thought of that as a bad thing until this class came along and the Vietnamese people showed me differently. I want to be rich, greedy and disgusting and I don't know anyone who wouldn't. I'm not sure if that puts me in the same place on the fence as you are or not, but I feel for others, but I like the benefits of living in a capitalist society. Who knows I could be all messed up and I could change my mind soon too.
