Oh, but capitalists DO create. They create WEALTH!

Other economic systems devote their efforts mainly to
redistributing the wealth that already exists, not in creating new
wealth.

In the scenario outlined, EVERY SINGLE PERSON left the transaction
better off than before they entered into it.

I hate to sound like a Democrat Liberal, but if a couple of the
middlemen stayed out of the loop, the consumer would have a few
bucks a month in his pocket and some hedge fund billionaire would
not have as many millions. Making money buy selling what you make
is great capitalism, adding layers of costs for no good reason
(other than a few people making lots of money) not quite as good.

Exactly so. Parasites. Extreme capitalism is as bad as communism.
The middle road is the right one.

It's got *nothing* to do with capitalism. Such nonsense can only
exist because of government.

Now THAT is nonsense.
