Rich people are also the minority. You're not wrong that the capitalist does not see anything wrong with their value proposition, but there is no profit without loss. Economics is always a zero sum game, when time is factored in. Anyone amassing wealth is taking value from the lives of others, without exception. The capitalist is someone who uses their existing wealth to leverage unequal value from business transactions. That's just how it works, and it doesn't work any other way.

Most people are cool with it, because they think someday they might be on the handle side of the lemon press instead of inside the basket. Almost everyone is wrong about that.

That's what happens when you only talk to leftists: you forget how other people think.
