That's true, but then again, if you're barely making enough to support yourself, then you're not among those few who make so much that they can abuse the system.
I'm not saying that capitalism is a perfect system. There are far too many ways to abuse it and exploit it. But the basis of the system (as you just said, to gain capital, though that is an over-simplified definition) is not inherently bad. There's nothing wrong with wanting to gain capital.
