My Opinion on Capitalism

So, our government is run by capitalism, where power is given to "chosen individuals" to rule over others. What ever happened to "all men are created equal"? The only thing people look for now is more power, which comes as money and prestige; over equality for their fellow people. This drive is created by competition in a capitalist society, leaving those who are poor and those who are rich versus those who all have the same amount. These are the consequences and issues created by having a capitalist society.
