8. It's all about the money

When capital rules, it is the same as saying those with the most money rule. When you are poor, you rule nothing in a capitalist society. Not even your own vote.

Capitalism is the cause of this kind of justice. Entire cities run on the fines and violation fees they can charge the poor. The Rich don't pay taxes, the middle class are burdened down with wheel taxes, license fees and service charges. While the poor are milked for all they are worth.

This is the bad parts of capitalism. It is the end stage where capital is gathered into fewer and fewer hands. Eventually there will be just one king who has gathered up all the capital leaving everyone to beg to him.
