The "System" is freedom.
People are prosperous because they work hard, use their intelligence, or sometimes just get lucky. They don't become wealthy because some "system" dictates they do. They get wealthy because they are free to capitalize on their potential and dreams. Freedom allows for people to grow and build.
IMO, it's not something that should be stiffled by regulation and overbearing bureaucrats. A politician regulating success by government edict is no different than a manufacturing engineer regulating quality by corporate profit margin. In the end, everyone suffers.
