Jason Read provides an illuminating quote on the true parasites in a capitalist economy:<\/p>\n
People who dismiss the unemployed and dependent as \u201cparasites\u201d fail to understand economics and parasitism. A successful parasite is one that is not recognized by it\u2019s host, one that can make it\u2019s host work for it without appearing as a burden. Such is the ruling class in a capitalist society.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
