The system is working as designed.

Capitalism is built to reward those with money and punish those without. Everyone in-between is leeched for all that they're worth by the people that control and hold nearly all of the money.

Over a long enough timeline, nearly all people fall into either the "in-between" category or the "without" category, while the people who hold the vast majority of the wealth become a smaller and smaller group of dictator-like individuals.

There is no democracy in the workplace.
