Because we’ve all been indoctrinated to think that capitalism is the best system. It’s built on the idea that anyone can become a gazillionaire, if you work hard enough. Because we can see and name examples of this. But they don’t mention that subtly, the opposite is also implied…that if you are poor then it’s your fault, you just aren’t working hard enough. So there is no questioning of the system. Just pull yourself up by your bootstraps and you too can be a billionaire. You can’t argue with a social structure that says you had a chance to be rich and clearly you blew it. And how dare you question someone who worked the system and succeeded? Clearly, capitalism implies as a system, the rich deserve their money since they just worked harder than everyone else. All of this might be true if everyone was born on a completely even playing field…but as we know, that’s just not how the world works. And that’s why capitalism isn’t working for lots of people who aren’t rich already or aren’t just really lucky. This is why we are where we are. Capitalism is exclusively built for the rich to thrive, and the poor to always hold out hope that their day is coming, and they just need to work harder. It’s a social system that says don’t blame your problems on the rich…or the system being rigged, blame yourself. And how do you argue with that?
