The capitalist risk his/her capital and defer consumption of his/her 
capital because he/she invest the capital in some enterprise.
When I invest money in a company I could sleep and gain or I could sleep 
and lose.

The unemployed on the dole can only gain from the dole as he did not 
invest and risk nothing.

The moral argument is written upon.
The capitalist risk his wealth and defer his consumption, so he have the 
right to earn whatever his enterprise let him earn, and keep it.
