Capitalism is a system in which there will be winners and losers, but our social safety net acts as if that is not the case.

And define "success".

I don't make millions, but I have a good job, loving family, etc.  I think I am "successful" without basing it all on how high up the social / economic ladder I get.

I could be MORE successful in an economic sense and we are working toward that.  But, to me, that doesn't define my success in the system.
