This post is ultimately a scathing indictment of capitalism.

Money represents power. Our society let you have much more power than most individuals will ever have.

But you don't know what to do with it? Why should you have it then?

Capitalism at its best would allocate power to those who know how to use it effectively.

Look around you. Isn't there anything in the world - commercially, socially, culturally - you think should be better? And aren't any of those things in a domain in which you can be effective?

The legitimate capitalist would know the answer to those questions.
