As another commenter has already pointed out, this is the sentence that is completely wrong about capitalism. Amazon pays warehouse workers more than average. Walmart does not. Have you ever worked at Amazon or have any friends who do? They have a $15 minimum wage for all workers. My friend in Florida makes $120 per day with no state tax and lives a very comfortable life.

It’s only a zero sum game for the ignorant and the unimaginative. Innovative capitalism that focuses on providing an excellent consumer experience is the future of “beneficial capitalism”. That’s why Amazon is worth almost 100 times the profit it brings in each year while most companies are barely worth 10 times that.
