In the US, 65% of all income goes to the top 1%. How did free market capitalism become so ‘successful‘?

Free enterprise is a good thing...most of the time. When you can jack the prices up on the necessities of life so the rich get richer and everyone else suffers, there is a problem. The price of food, fuel, and medical services, including prescriptions are making a few people rich, while killing the rest of us. As far as the poor doing better, let me ask this question. How many freaking jobs that pay over 30 dollars an hour are there compared to 15 dollars and hour and under? So how in the hell can EVERYONE move up the damn ladder? You people that scream everyone is lazy, they need to just better themselves are full of crap. I worked in a distribution center that had 1500 employees. Out of those, 12 were salaried supervision making a little more money. The rest were stuck with a yearly cost of living increase that barely covers the insurance increase. I am certain most places are about like that. So, without going to college and getting a degree, how do we move up? and if everyone did go to college and get a degree, then who would do the grunt work that companies make a killing off of? You would have college garduates making 10 dollars an hour.
