Well, this is not all negative. The point he is making about being a wage-slave is a valid one. I don't think it has anything to do with the capitalist economic system. This is result of many decades of politicians deliberately trying to drive the country into the ground. They tried everything they could think of to waste money on the most useless stuff they could think of. They mercilessly attacked the family with welfare that you only get if there is no father in the house. With the Department of Education. And to their utter frustration, there were so many of us that just dealt with it, and made happy lives for ourselves despite everything they did.
