Owning capital isn't either, and yet it's the cornerstone of the rigged casino we call our economy.

You pay way more tax on the money you labor for than the money you win through gambling on Wall Street, and while you may win or lose, the owners can and do effect the outcomes to ensure they win.

Oh and just to be clear, the winners are not the workers or the society, but private shareholders, and almost certainly not you to any significant degree.
