assuming that poverty is tantamount to living uncomfortably and being financially success can be seen as living comfortably without much financial worry.

capitalism is set up so that the rich get richer, mostly off the toil of cheaply paid (or as low wages as possible paid to) workers. This is at one end of the scale. The other end of the scale we could argue that complete socialism (even communism) strives for financial parity among all (though this ideal is usually not achieved). Do you think under either system ALL people in society can financially succeed?

Just by the way you described it no...Cause the rich will always get richer by indermineing the poor with poor wages...and even in communism it's not all fair and equal...some still get higher wages, nicer homes, cars than some etc....Maybe the only way it would work is if, everyone could open their own businesses...But the system is not set up for that- we all cant be sellers with no buyers, thats not how capitalism work...maybe we all cant be rich on the same level but maybe we all can achieve financial stability, comfort and a good amount of wealth if everyone worked together and be fair, from the top down.
