A economic system based on private ownership, which people do criticize for making rich get richer and the poor get poorer, however they might fail to realize that capitalsim is not evil but abused by greedy fucked-up people who want more money only to lose it when they get the IRS or the Law on their assess. In short, capitalism may have it's faults but it can also be abused by greedy-fucked up people.
Evil Capitalist: Ahh I love all this money I made from capitalism but I wish I could be excluded from all these taxes
Poor guy: We should not capitalsim this because I'm a poor guy who get poorer even though the evil guy abuses it and uses us just to get more money even though the IRS will be on his ass soon, and also because I don't really want to work.

An economic and political system in which a nation's companies are controlled by the super rich rather than the people. Capitalism can be beneficial for producers to innovate in creating new products. Also, consumers can pursue higher-paying jobs to earn more cash to buy more expensive products that they desire the most. Nonetheless, some capitalist countries, such as the USA, Russia, China, Venezuela, and Japan, are being detrimental in the way that they are inflating prices or taxes of products that leads to the downsides of capitalism. Examples are the lack of a Universal Healthcare, below-average minimum wage, micro-transactions in video games, the Student Debt Crisis, increased world hunger, and imperialism in foreign countries to steal resources and to boost economic jobs. Furthermore, if you are born poor at the bottom of the hierarchy, then you are most likely to stay there, unless you get lucky by winning a slot machine at a casino or winning a lottery to get out of the poverty line. To an extreme, capitalism is enslaving workers to their graves in factories without them having enough spare time to be with their family members, but it will ultimately crumble.
As the income gap continues to widen, the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer. In other words, more poor people will suffer and die under capitalism. Capitalism needs to be heavily replaced by democratic socialism to allow poor workers to share and to control the means of production equally, as well as stealing millions or billions of dollars from the super wealthy businessmen to distribute equally among themselves. Therefore, the 1% super wealthy businessmen will no longer be abusive to poor workers' rights and will no longer continue to sit on their lazy asses doing absolutely nothing to contribute to society.

"I own a lot of property. I give money, that I inherited, to people with ideas that I think might make me more money."
"Great."
"I own a lot of really fast cars."
"Cool."
"I'm a winner."
"Uh-huh."
"What do you do?"
"I teach disabled kids how to read."
"Ouch. That can't pay well."
"Nope."
"Sucks to be you. Would you like to see some pictures of my cars."
"No, thank you. Sorry, I have to go."
"Look what lovely cars I have... I love capitalism."

A country where it’s government doesn’t care about its people and only care about taking their money and leaving them broke which they don’t care and don’t do anything about it.

Overall not too bad of an economic system but could use reforms such as how this one billionaire over a bunch of people who do often work harder then the billionaire yet the billionaire makes millions and millions more then the workers. Even if the billionaire did work hard it is not humanly possible to work millions of times better then the employees make.

Capitalization is the difference between "I had to help my uncle Jack off a horse.." and "I had to help my uncle jack off a horse.."
