Do you honestly think that poorer people are poorer because they sit around watching Breaking Bad all day? Have you perhaps ever met someone who works hard at three jobs at minimum wage and can't make ends meet, especially in an incredibly expensive city like NYC? I mean what planet are you living on?

In most parts of society, wealth has little to do with the time spent working.

There might or might not be a moral case for this. But to say that this allows the market to act like Marx's utopia of to each according to their need is not only wrong, but a lie anyone with the minimum one week in an undergraduate economics course should see.
