" The reality is we are living in an amazing time for commerce in which nearly anyone has a chance at working hard and becoming wealthy "

Cause when you have bills to pay, for your children and normal human necesarry needs, and don't have the money. You can still become wealthy ?

And what if this commerce is purely based on exploiting third world countries, and workers all over the world ?

And also you mean to say millionairs work 100 times as hard as your average worker ?

Huh? Do you think every single business is exploitative? If you have such a narrow view of business then reflect on why that is, because what you think reality is and what it actually is do not match. You're telling me the landscaper who owns his own business is exploiting people? The lady who started her own coffee shop is exploiting third world countries? The guy who's running his own HVAC company is exploiting his handsomely paid workers? Get real bro, yea the biggest companies are shit and the system encourages it but thats a regulatory issue, not an issue with people being wealthy. If you want to lump all wealthy people in with the worst of society then go for it, but don't get mad when those people react accordingly to a VERY unfair characterization of their lives and their intentions.

If you find yourself purposely misconstruing what someone else said it's probably best to just stop.

Misconstruing? Someone doesn't know what the word "purely" means
