In Theory, it rewards those that work harder, and not those that dont, I dont feel that capitalism is a bad thing (and Im definetly on the lower end of the spectrum). The issue I see with capitalism is monopolies, If you have enough money, you can hold the market , and stifle competition. money isnt evil, capitalizm isnt evil, even cars are not evil, its simply how people abuse them that is evil.
