Is capitalism ethical though? Isn't every employee an exploited person?

Tu quoque isn't a valid argument. More importantly it implies you actually do think his behaviour is unethical.

It's basically the "robbing a thief" argument - it's not stealing, because the loot wasn't theirs in the first place.

I genuinely don't understand - how is an agreement for payment of services rendered exploitation? Value is generated for both parties of that exchange.
