What is the plot? Your power is inherited. In capitalism, capital = power. We can talk about equal opportunities - a lie! One boy attended a school for the poor. He didn’t have money to go to university and went to work at McDonald’s, then somehow opened his own business.
Another boy studied with the best teachers in the country. He studied at the most elite school. He studied at the best university in the country. To start his own business, his father gave 100 million dollars to start. Of course they are absolutely equal)))

" In capitalism, capital = power."

It's never that simple. Money is not wealth, nor power. It's a veil behind which actual wealth (which includes power) is concealed. The machinations of corruption are not deployed by money alone, but through myriad foetid pathways that corrupt all the values men have. You could as easily have said 'Rent = money', but then I would point out that my rent is not paid in money this month, the next, or the month after.

Epstein did not inherit money. He extorted it. Most of his wealth didn't derive from money, but corruption. The world is not so simple as political placards declare.

An exception only confirms the rule.
