We obviously have a difference of opinion on this. I think that ignoring someone's property rights and economic freedom is a very ignoble idea. Also I don't think that capitalism requires any exploitation meaning using another person unfairly or selfish purposes, although of course since actual people operate in a capitalist system not angels people are in fact taken advantage of. Also there is plenty of another definition of exploitation - "The act of employing to the greatest possible advantage: exploitation of copper deposits" I see capitalism as the free market. And when you are free you have the ability to do immoral things with your freedom, however freedom itself is IMO a more noble idea then forced "sharing". Tim
