I were having a bit of a debate about money and the economy on the Facebook page before, I'm wondering what you people think about todays society.

Do you think its unfair that some people have alot more money than others?

Do you think some people are less advantaged because of their race or religion?

And what do you think about the claim that wealthy people manipulate politicians and that they have lots of power over everyone?

Isn't that the very definition of unfair?

"Do you think some people are less advantaged because of their race or religion? "

Of course.

"And what do you think about the claim that wealthy people manipulate politicians and that they have lots of power over everyone? "

Well, lobbying is a reality, bribery and scandals are reality... but you don't have to be wealthy to have an agenda you want to push or agree with, but I'm sure wealthy folks are just more efficient at it.

I just want everyone to have an equal chance, but whether they succeed or fail is up to them. I don't think it's fair that the poorer you are, the harder time you have improving your living conditions. But that's just going off of Nickel and Dimed. On the other hands, there's this: http://www.csmonitor.com/Business/2008/0211/p13s02-wmgn.html . So...fuck if I know.
