We preach free enterprise capitalism. We believe in it, we give our lives in war for it, but the closest most of us come to profiting from it are a few miserable shares of stock in a company that doesn't pay large enough dividends to keep a small mouse in cheese.

We only have our wages and salaries, and a debt so high that something like 20c on every dollar we earn is spent to pay off what we owe.
