The fundamental problem with capitalism (as described by Bo Burnham

As an investor, I don't want to give my money to strangers.  That's like forcing you to give money to kids in Africa.

The wage is mutually consensual.  If you want more money, find a better job.

You need to contribute to society for society to give you something in return. 

Jeff Bezos contributes way more to society than a nurse (nurse make a lot as well).  Jeff Bezos's company sells tens of millions of products to people every single day.  A nurse may help out 5 people in a day.

Other people starving isn't my problem and it isn't yours. 

irrespective of how rich they are.

It's not arbitrary.  People that contribute more to others get more money from those others.  Jeff Bezos gets money from you when you buy something on Amazon at a cheaper price than what the store offers for the same product.

In any case an investor isn't actually producing anything and I'm not convinced he deserves as much of the profit as the workers that do, especially workers in dangerous or back breaking conditions. 

Who gets the better jobs is not up to the workers. 

I don't know where you get this idea but the people who earn the most do not produce anything for themselves. They only take from society. 

Even the startup capital he "risked" was mostly in the form of loans. In other words everything was given to him. 

If you were starving and cold and alone would that just be your own problem and you wouldn't ask for or accept help? 

They are only rich in the first place because of generations of colonialism and exploitation.

No one needs more money than they can reasonably spend in thirty lifetimes.

 F you think it would cost someone as much to go from being a billionaire to being merely a millionaire than for a person with a minimum wage job to give up all of their income then you clearly are a little out of touch with the consequences of being poor.

Most of the indicators of whether a child will grow up to be wealthy are arbitrary, as in beyond that child's control. Things like being white and a man and most importantly being born into wealth. 

I'm taking the risk.

Workers should invest more.

I would get help from a church, not from the government.  The church operates using funds obtained through means as consensual as religion it's self.  The government forces you to pay money to them.  Homeless people can use private churches all they want; using the government is theft.

Jeff Bezos never colonized.  He didn't exploit anyone, otherwise he couldn't get his business so successful.

Most people don't work minimum wage jobs.

Lets say you make $60/year

If this was the case, then Jeff Bezos would have comparably rich sibilings

Blacks tend to be less sucessful because they aim for different things than whites.  Females tend to be less sucessful because they tend to aim for different things than men.

How are you risking more than your workers? Should you go out of buisness you both face possible destitution, homelessness and starvation. I would actually wager you would be better able to recover than the workers actually. Sounds like it is more of a risk for them.

If only they weren't bothered with things like buying food and paying rent and dealing with systemic oppression. More to the point if only their parents would be wealthy and loan them money.

I am glad you are a member of the religious in group to such a degree you feel that is an option for you. Must be nice.

Most people also do not make 60000 a year. Let's say you need 30000 a year to live and you make 28000 because that is closer to the truth for most of us. If nothing goes wrong that is. 

This is a non sequitur. One doesn't necessarily lead to the other. Any siblings he dies have are still more privileged than poor people of color.

Blacks tend to be less sucessful because they aim for different things than whites.  Females tend to be less sucessful because they tend to aim for different things than men.

I would be careful speaking for others and also making generalizations. 

Someone that owns $500K of stock is getting $50K/year from that stock.  A worker may earn $50K/year from their labor.  If the company goes bankrupt, I lose $500K and the worker loses their job and would have to find a new one (a process that usually takes about a year).  I lost $500K and the worker lost $50K.  I'm more at risk as an investor.

Workers aren't oppressed.  Food and rent are cheap for workers working 40 hours a week.  They use their excess funds to invest.  

The median salary in the US is about $35K/year(median us salary - search results (bing.com)).  They live off $30K, and they invest the rest in the stock market.  People making less should find better jobs.

I was saying that despite growing up in the same environment, Jeff Bezos ended up more successful that his siblings.  If America was a white supremist country, then minorities would be heading to the Bahamas instead of the US because the Bahamas are both rich and black majority.  But people are moving to the US because America's isn't racist.

I think Thomas Sowell wrote a book on why race groups end up in different places.  Blacks focus on certain things; whites focus on different things, and this produces different results.  Male and female brains are different that leads to different results for the genders.

You are failing to take into account how much more of a loss is for someone who only has 50k. 

Also you are simply assuming that another job is available. Workers do not choose which jobs are available or when.

Man you really don't know what it is like to not have enough money to live on do you? For many people there are no excess funds.

Half of all people make less than the average. That is what average means. 

For example bank loans (a critical component of starting a small business) are statistically far more likely to be awarded to white men than to women or people of color.

There is no law that specifically says that this should he the case. It is enough that no law prevents it.

Jeff Bezos did end making more profit than any of his siblings but I think you will find that mathematically there must be a top earner in any family. 

You think black people being more likely to be impoverished is the fault of black people and you don't think some racism is going on? Maybe examine that for a moment.

If all I invested was $500K and that investment becomes worthless, I have lost much more.

In a free market, there are jobs available.

I had a grand father who was poor, his dad didn't know much English and he made himself to be a lawyer through grit.  People are able to get out of poverty in a capitalist society.

politicians on both sides have incentives to not help the poor out.  Some are curropt.  Even if your a non curropt democrat, you know that poor people tend to vote for democrats, so you have to tell your base, "I want to get you out of poverty", but you know if you actually did that, they would start to vote republican (and it costs you your job potentially).  So even AOC doesn't have an incentive to actually help the poor; she just has to pretend that she is.

Below is the law that outlawed racial discrimination:

Bezos is more productive to society than all of his siblings combined.

I wouldn't say it's the fault of black people; it's just different priorities.

For example, lets say you have person A who wants to be a runner, and person B who wants to be a weightlifter.  The person As of the world tend to be faster than the person Bs of the world.  The person Bs of the world tend to be stronger than the Person As of the world.  This isn't bad; it's just because Person A and Person B have different goals in life.

Lets say you have white people and black people.  The whites of the world tend to want to earn more.  The blacks of the world tend to want stronger family values.  This is often due to the rampant single motherhood within the black community(R.85713f559ea8c2f40913d8fb86d24529 (1222×799) (bing.com)) and this tends to make blacks respect family more, since they know first hand the effects of single motherhood.  Often family values come at the expense of a higher salary (because if you focus on your family a lot, you tend to be less focused with your career and vice versa). 

Because of this, whites tend to earn more and blacks tend to have stronger family bonds.  This isn't wrong, and it's not like one is better than the other, it just shows that racial groups tend to have different goals in life.

I am not advocating for socialism or Marxism or any other isms by the way only pointing out the problems of capitalism and how it can be used to short circuit our survival instincts by tying those instincts artificially to the movements of little pieces of paper which are at there most basic actually divorced from our survival. 

In saying what you are NOT advocating for, it leads me to wonder what DO you advocate for as an economic system?

Paid sick and child care leave. Free or low cost libraries and museum. An education system. Minimum wage. Civil rights. Essential services like fire fighters. Infrastructure.
