: You still have not answered my question, "How can you earn money at someone else's expense?"
: Maybe you do not know the general meaning of the word "earn". When you earn something, it is not theft, but merely a reward for your labor.
I'm sorry, I thought you wanted to discuss the effects of the capitalist system. It appears that's not your subject at all. The above question appears to be a matter of explaining the procedure of wage labor. It's easy to answer: if someone pays you for your labor, it's at "their expense." Question asked, question answered, case closed.
