    Capitalism is supposed to put the worker at the top

    No it isn’t. It’s supposed to put capital at the top. It’s right in the name!

      It’s supposed to take money away from the owning class (lords) and give it to the working class (craftsmen)

      The idea is that no matter what you do, you are paid based on hours put into it

        So then billionaires are just simply putting in more hours than everyone else, is that it?
