: Procreation.
: To see your children survive to create your grandchildren.
: Your children are your highest concern, fellow man becomes secondary.
: Hence, Individual Apriration. The desire to be better than your fellow man; to attract an equally competant mate and procreate.
: This Individual desire to succeed is at the heart of everything we do.
: It is because of this personal desire that there is excess wealth generated in the world. It is this wealth that is looted from the average man, and redistributed to people who did not earn it.

: Without Capitalism, you would have no wealth to steal.

Okay; in a way I agree with you, but if we didn't have capitalism I feel that maybe; just maybe the common wealth of hard workers would be a little more anxious. The way I see this is that if the coomon worker was working for a certain company and all he got was a paycheck; rather than a piece of the company he might feel that he has thrown away a few years of his life. For example let's say that you worked for Apple computers for ten years; wouldn't you rather have a small portion of that company, and a small paycheck; rather than a paycheck and jack of that company (except the fact that you have no time but anything but work).
