The main point of the whole exercize is this in a nut shell. You seem to think that government exists to use force to make some people winners and others losers. The truth is there is no legitimate power to interfere in the private arrangements people make among themselves in the absence of coersion.

It's just none of your business what I pay my workers or where I shop or what I buy or what I pay or what I earn or anything else as long as I don't violate any of your rights. You have no right or legitimate power to interfere with my arrangements. I owe you nothing and any use of force by you or your agents (govt) to make your situation better at my expense is immoral.

Any contention to the contrary is liberal at best. You ain't no conservative.
