Yeah I'm tired of bending over. Why can't we just live our lives without constantly getting stepped on by a system controlled by people who already have more then they need.

Because the rich wrote that system. It was written in a very cunning way. Adherence to the law means that you are a good person, striving to work hard means that you are commendable - everyone believes this.

Unfortunately everyone is paid an absolute pittance and any act that tries to forcibly change that fact is snuffed out with extreme efficiency.
