 You don't even know the definitions of the words you're talking about. Capitalism has nothing to do with owning other people's labor. You haven't completely backwards. No one's making you work for someone else. Capitalism doesn't force you to work for somebody. You are free to choose to work wherever you want and you are entitled to the money you get from the labor you provide. That doesn't mean you're entitled to ask for whatever sum of money you feel like earning.
