This is the natural order of human nature. But it turns out that when you let people profit off of the productive capital they own, they end up investing a significant portion of their income into creating new capital.
This process of profit motivated investment leads to an increase in goods/services being generated per capita, and consequently, less need for manual labour, more leisure time, and a higher standard of living, for the masses:
>Almost unnoticed, the world has reduced poverty, increased incomes, and improved health more than at any time in history.
^ improvements in the standard of living is the natural order of the world and even more so when there is a free market in place, as historical cross-country comparisons show us.
These attempts at making edgy anti-capitalism comments, which essentially imply that we should impose authoritarian prohibitions, that abridge the right to private property and engagement in voluntary market transaction, are embarrassing.
