There is a double edge to all those extreme examples.

Only in America can those companies have profit margins like that. It's the reason why we have more self made millionaires than any other country by an absolutely ridiculous margin.

Everything isn't "equal" in America which contributes to the reason why it's the land of opportunity.

Go find examples of people that came from nothing and are now billionaires anywhere else, it's very rare.

If it weren't for capitalism there would be no;

Microsoft
Apple
Intel
AMD
Linux
Facebook
Twitter
Youtube
Google

There wouldn't be blockbuster Hollywood films with $100 million in special effects you all enjoy so much.

There wouldn't be the largest music industry in the world. A lot of you would be singing a different tune if Capitalism in America was completely erased.
