In a nutshell, profit is made from adding value.

 

Those who add no value can't understand that concept, and is why they also do not understand profit.

 

They think it simply comes from a "stash," from which it should be confiscated and spread around a little.

 

Which is funny, because in real life Robin Hood would be taking issue with the IRS, not fleecing the successful to pay for the country's burdensome ones.

 

And since the burdensome ones will always vote Santa Claus... keep everybody down and on the payroll and the D becomes permanent, dragging the country down creating more members that destroy/consume wealth instead of creating it.
