[Meta] Looking for that one quote about how capitalism is like kids at a carnival

Looking for the original quote that I can link to. It talks about how modern capitalistic life is like kids at a carnival, and how the middle class get a single spin of the wheel, the rich get to try as often as possible until they win, and how the poor don’t get any spins of the wheel at all – they are the ones running the stands. For some reason, even with pretty decent from-memory quotes, Google isn't bringing me back s**t. Like, literally I get the blank page with “nothing available” and that Yeti ice-fishing.
