"Unfettered capitalism is a licence for theft"

What thief offers a money back guarantee?

A thief takes something without the owner knowledge
or threaten violence if you don't give something to
to him.

Capitalism offers bubble gum for 5 cents.
No one threats violence if you don't give 5 cents
for the bubble gum.
The only reason you call it thief is you think
the better price is 1 cent instead of 5 cent.

Capitalism is a store, where presumable
you know where it's located, and you travel
to the store to get something you want.
Thieves aren't people where you choose
to visit for the purpose of them taking money
from you.

Capitalism is a kid offering to mow your lawn
for $5.
Vandalism is someone decorating your house with
free toilet paper.
And a thief takes your lawn mower.

If the kid who mows your lawn, mows 1/2 of it,
chews holes in your lawn and blows up your lawn mower. This is your employee not doing as good of a job as
you might have expected he would. Though you might wish the kid had instead merely stolen your lawn mower instead offering to mow the lawn for $5.
