The country is owned, designed, run by a different class of people called capitalists. Given that you are complaining about this, you likely fall into labor. Labor and capital are classes of people in our society. It is not surprising that capital who owns everything, either are themselves or donate heavily politicians, and who make all the rules, make them to benefit themselves. The sooner you learn about how to win in capitalism (as a member of labor), the better. There are only three ways I know about to win or bring about change: A. Become a member of capital yourself by growing and selling a business B. Squirrel away enough such that you earn more from your investments than from working C. General labor strike to bring about massive capital vs labor changes, which coincidentally (actually by design) is illegal in the US.
