Can you help me paraphrase this?

McDonalds Corporation makes billions of dollars. Exxon makes billions of dollars in profit. Most of the work is done by other people who make a meager hourly wage. In a capitalist system there are winners and losers, and there are only a few winners. Though Douglass found this system better than total slavery, he does mention how similar it is. There is not much difference between being a total slave and giving your money to your aster, who then gave you a few pennies back, and our current system, where we work extremely hard and most of the money goes to few rich people at the top.

Reply:Most large companies make their money through low aid workers. douglass feels this is like slavery, but better because the worker does get some money.
Reply:The rich get richer, the poor stay poor.
