> Capitalism is the greatest system we know of for creating weath. It is also one of the worst systems for distributing weath.

This is an oxymoron. "Wealth" is just stuff. Loaves of bread. Cars. iPhones. TV shows. If you create stuff but just keep it in your warehouse, it's going to go moldy and you're going to lose money. You have to distribute it to make money.

Money itself is of no value. You can't eat dollars, and mine don't sing or dance to entertain me. I suppose you could burn them for heat, if you have actual paper dollars :-)
