Not talking about obvious things like crime.

I mean things that people just accept as part of life.

Things everyone does, but when you really think about it, it actually makes no sense.

    No, you’re just an expert. They’ve always existed – a master blacksmith would make a decent living before capitalism, much better than the common serf. Nobody’s against highly talented hardworking people making more money than average, I think we all agree they deserve it.

    The capitalist would be someone like you bribing the state government to create a new regulation that your profession requires a special license and your company is the only one in the state with the license and you hire in all your competitors at a wage 20% what you bill them out at. Then on your deathbed you donate a couple million for the local hospital and you go down in history as an American Hero.
