Yes that is the idea of capitalism, but thats precisely why it is flawed. No one starts on a level playing ground, so how is the money you make directly proportional, or proportional at all to the ammount of hard work you put into the equation? The little man is SCREWED in capitalism. Sure, when the system came about, it was all good. But now there's always someone getting a dick in the ass.

You are looking at it from a perspective that is caged within capitalism. This is okay with me, but I think that you should try and look from another perspective. Money, capital accumulation, commodities are all just fetishes of capitalism. Even you see it that some people should get screwed over because they can't make as much money as another person. How does this make sense? Why is that fair? Is this system really the best there is? Just open up your mind to some new thoughts. Working hard to earn merits is just a synonym for being driven by greed. Is that healthy?
