Capitalism does not permit an even flow of economic resources. With this system, a small privileged few are rich beyond conscience, and almost all others are doomed to be poor at some level. That's the way the system works. And since we know that the system will not change the rules, we are going to have to change the system.

Summary

This quote suggests that capitalism, as an economic system, does not allow for an equitable distribution of resources. It argues that a small group of privileged individuals accumulate excessive wealth, while the majority of others are destined to remain poor to some degree. The quote implies that given the entrenched nature of the system's rules, the only way to rectify this imbalance is to enact fundamental changes to the capitalist system itself.
