The problem here may not be the economic system...
I may be going out on a limb here, and I only have previous posts to judge by, but you may have a slight attitude problem. Lord knows we all do in one form or another, but you seem to be operating from some kind of "Victim Mode" both in professional and personal areas, and this is probably holding you back.
Okay, this normally wouldn't be any of my business, but after all, you're the one who puts all the personal stuff up, and if you weren't looking for feedback, why do it?
You seem to have a good mind and a lot of creativity. It needs to be properly harnessed.
