            It does not make the case that the wealthy are exploiting the poor. To me that would be more of Cruz’s essay. This is more the facts that people will try to get ahead in a system where things are either weighted against them or they don’t have to try very hard and have success handed to them. The wealthy don’t take advantage of others per say, they merely accept that they’ve been given privileges and fortune in their attempts to build their own proud mini empire. Everyone is cast into an unbalanced society with limits capped on them based off of where they begin. It’s essentially starting a board game with the end goal being millions of dollars and having tons of spots that set players back. This seems and would be fair if only 1/100 players weren’t allowed to start in a position that bypasses many of the most difficult issues. The rest are left in the middle of poverty and have nothing to build off of or improve upon. Generally speaking they must learn to live with what they’ve got because unless they can swim really well and see a billionaire drowning, they’ve got a rough road ahead of them.
