The existence of yet worse systems does not make the American system fair. It is not difficult to picture societies where it is not required to build wealth for 4 generations to achieve moderate economic security. Further, specific measures to reduce systemic poverty in America are feasible without any kind of radical societal collapse. Many wealthy people remain so despite (rarely, even because of) problems with impulse control or irrational perseverance. Exacerbation of these behaviors by stress is well understood. Why are they considered fatal moral defects only in people of low socioeconomic status? |
