“poor little capitalists ...don’t they understand that money, not people, matters?”

But the money is used to buy capital, which produces things more efficiently, which allows poorer people to afford more and more...Aw, what’s the point explaining it? They don’t listen.

You just don't get it. That's because their thinking is too nuanced for you.

They simply cannot get over the fact that efficiency leads to job loss (replace humans with better, faster machines or better, faster processes) in SOME sectors. But then, that opens up opportunities in other areas for job growth (programming, shipping, etc...).
