Is my idea of excellent political system meaningful?

i really hope this a joke. just to point out a few things....

1. how can the government ensure that everyone willing to work can get a job? that's not their job; they should have minimal intervention. heavy reliance on the government has consistently led to economic downfall.

2. one of the most successful elements of the whole free-enterprise, free-market, capitalistic political-economic system is that people work hard to get where they are and should be rewarded for rising so high up. sharing so much revenue leaves little motivation for people to become well-educated and hard-working. people who work hard and succeed deserve to be wealthier. this idea dates back to the antebellum period when the free labor system was first developed and abraham lincoln serving as the epitome of the american dream. the only reason that some people in today's society see this system as faulty is because of all the prejudices and injustices society has created having to deal with race and opportunities available to individuals. however, that is more of a social issue. between 1840 and 1850, there was a huge rise in immigration (mainly german and irish immigrants) in america. because the english heavily persecuted and took advantage of the irish, the irish came to america as poor, unskilled farmers fleeing starvation from the potato famine and persecution from the english. meanwhile, the germans, fleeing war-devastated land, were generally people of skilled trade. thus, the germans found jobs easily and mixed well into mainstream american society, where most people were from places like england, sweden, etc. however, it was difficult for the irish to find jobs and they often competed for jobs of domestic service with free blacks. because the irish worked similar jobs to the blacks, society placed them on a pedestal for discrimination. people were prejudice towards the irish and looked down upon them. as a result, the irish began to look down upon the blacks and insult them in order to create white supremacy. a shift soon occurred from gaps between social classes to gaps between race. eventually, the irish were able to become successful under the idea of white supremacy and mix in with the rest of society, working their way up the free-labor system "ladder" and leaving blacks behind. in today's society, such a shift has occurred over time that now, instead of being prejudice towards blacks (it still exists but is not as prevalent), we target those of immigrant backgrounds and lower social classes. on the other hand, if a person does not belong to one of these minority groups, then it is their fault for being unsuccessful, considering they had a plethora of opportunities available to them. granted, there are a few instances in which that is not the case, but in a lot of cases, the people who are poor are poor because they chose to, whether that be because they decided to drop out of high school, not go to college, become drug addicts/alcoholics, etc.

6. while i agree that the wealthier should be taxed heavier than the poor (because logically speaking, they do have more money after all), i don't agree that they should be taxed so intensively, especially not 99% of all money. like i mentioned in #2, they deserved to get where they are in life through hard work and most likely an extensive education
