Marin Voice: Sadly, rampant homelessness a sign that capitalism is working as intended

The economic system in America is functioning exactly as it was designed. The homelessness we see all around us is a sure sign that our capitalistic system is working the way it was meant to.

I consider capitalism to be a system imposed on the working class. It depends on paying low wages, which equals high profits. Capitalists, the owners of property whose wealth depends on the exploitation of labor, benefit from high rent and inflated real estate prices, or asset inflation, to ensure their wealth and profits.
