I have heard from many people including economists, millionaires (never any billionaires, ironically), political scientists, business owners, wall street buffs, prolific entrepreneurs, academia, and from Cedar's wife while she was serving me breakfast in bed, that the economic system in America is rigged. That it is designed to favor the wealthy and keep the 95% to be dependent on the wealthy. To keep us poor at all costs. Though "poor" is very subjective, the point is that the system is allegedly rigged such that the 95% cannot move past what they already have. 

This very well could be, and I am not refuting any of it. However, it's a vague claim. When I listen to the aforementioned people, I don't hear specific examples of how it is rigged. What specific logistics, examples, policies, or systems substantiate this claim? 

Thoughts? 

@peepee  I know that you are going to go **** on this thread, so go ahead and say your usual shot about the value of money and where it comes from.
