Extensively.
We have more at our fingertips than at any point in history. I guess growing up without much, you appreciate what I have vs my parents and their parents. We call that gratitude.
Life is generally unfair and no system can correct for that reality. Capitalism exists everywhere, it just functions most efficiently when human beings largely making their own decisions. Democracies are corrupted all the time and often where free markets operate least efficiently. But, there is a much more important principle which is protecting the minority of one and our individual pursuits of happiness. As Thoreau said, I would rather sit alone on a pumpkin than crowded on a velvet sofa. I personally don’t want to be told what to do by others with the bulk of my time and resources. Ironically, societies that operate with that as an underlying principle have done more to elevate the human condition.
I share your love for this country and the ideals it represents. The aspirations of this nation are built on the idea of manifest self destiny and the preservation of our negative rights. If you fail to see the 500 years or so of evolution in thinking that pre-dated our 250 years of independence that brought those concepts to light, I would say that makes you ungrateful or at least blind to the fact the current issues, are miniscule by comparison.
