This is true only if economy is a zero sum game.
It is not.
But you think so, so it is understandable that you don't understand 
because wealth creation is more important than redistribution and that 
redistribution will happen naturally if you give time and freedom to the 
people.

They were so proud of their physical works that their technology sucked 
then and suck now.
Capitalists (well sane people) are more interested in the end results 
not in the inputs.
