Capitalist -- Def'n: Trained and state-sanctioned con artists, whose goal is the transfer of wealth from others to himself, to profit line his wallet at the expense of others. Money is like energy, it cannot be created or destroyed. That is why business is illegal in communist countries, since if one gets richer then others must become poorer. And that is also why democratic countries need systems to compensate victims, such as the constitution, bill of rights, labor laws, health & safety regulations, employment insurance, pension plans, minimum wage, immigration laws, business licenses, unions, and so on. These systems keep the people happy, who in the days of ancients would be called slaves. Today, the rich are less visible, but that 1-percent who control 99 percent of the wealth still exist. Capitalism is so successful because it has found a way to enslave a large population. Of course it will outperform, with hundreds of millions of slaves working night-and-day.

Is there a government department that doesn't in some way offset an inequity created by capitalist activity?
