    America is like the customer who walked into a gun store, purchased a gun on credit, and then used it to rob the same gun store...

    I think it explains itself. Without protections for those that can't protect themselves capitalism only works for the powerful.

    No, that still doesn't explain it.

    Let's follow the story a little further down the storyline:

    The robber takes the money that he stole and opens a security guard business, that promises to protect the Gun Store from future robberies. The Gun Store owner purchases the services of the the Security Guard business, in order to protect his business, can he actually expect protection? Is the "robber"/Security Guard business actually serious in providing protection?
