So if a few use the wealth they have acquired for the good of others, whether it be through expanding and creating more jobs, investing in beneficial technologies and/or medicines, or simply through providing through charities, they are the exception, but when another few use the wealth they have acquired to keep others down and only increase their own wealth, that's the norm of the system? That's bullshit, plain and simple. You can't honestly point at a few bad individuals and say "this is what capitalism is." In this system there are people who use what they have acquired for numerous different things. Some abuse what they gain. Some do not. When those some do abuse it, you can't blame the entire system, because the very existence of those who do not abuse it serve to blatantly contradict the claim that the system is bad.
