Very well written, I think this is a great argument once you're comfortable.

Once you have some stability you can take a breath and enjoy a good book and have time to think and appreciate the value of knowledge.

However, before that, and those who are disproportionately being kept out of comfort by the current system (working two jobs to make rent, choosing which bills to pay, etc) don't yet have that luxury to rethink wealth.
