It's reciprocal which is why it's fair and why competition works. The ad hominem attacks are amazing in this thread.

That is an even more idiotic assertion. Looking at our roots and our closest evolutionary cousins, it seems that society is nothing BUT living off each other.
Why the fuck else would a social species for groups, troops and dynasties, if not for the very purpose of living off, in some way, another?
Durrrrrr.
Society = The aggregate of people living together in a more or less ordered community.
Not living off each other, but rather living together. You can live together while competing for resources in an orderly manner.
In true capitalism all have equal opportunity through education to compete equally. The problem is that education is lacking currently. Don't hate the economic system - hate the current state of affairs.
Brevity is the soul of wit.
