The privileged beneficiaries of capitalism are the people that hire the population of HN to make them money.

As for how to make things more fair, a good start would be to allow bad actors (the well connected good ole boys) in the economy to die off instead of bailing them out. Perhaps a better use of that money would be to invest in community owned assets (like low income housing) and businesses (corporations structured similarly to Mondragon)?

How many people on HN are volunteering to pay more in taxes and give up their income that is probably more than twice the median amount in the US?
