naturally no other country in the world enjoys a similar level of prosperity without creating an underclass that they abuse for their profit.

There literally isn't. Whine about the percentages all you want. You still have a higher standard of living than literally anywhere else in the world.

Capitalism did that. It's not perfect but it's better than anything else.

Right, so Finland, France, Germany, Norway, New Zealand, Japan, Australia, Korea, Spain, the Netherlands, and Italy all don't exist. Got it.

Just because you don't know about them, doesn't mean they don't exist.
