    EXACTLY.

    That's the problem. It's not about fair rules, it's about one set of rules for the elite, another for everyone else. It's about central banks and governments privatizing gains and socializing losses.

    So people enjoy gathering food, people enjoy building shelter etc?
    If someone doesn't produce much, they can be described as poor. If someone else produces alot more, they can be described as rich. But that doesn't mean that the latter has taken anything from the former. Government intervention/redistribution(to the rich even) on the other hand, is an example of redistribution(someone becoming rich/poor).
