Capitalism is where you buy shares in the companies.

Rules of  the Evil Overlord #124.  "Prior to kidnapping  an older male
scientist  and forcing  him to  work for  me, I  will  investigate his
offspring  and make sure  that he  has neither  a beautiful  but naive
daughter  who is  willing to  risk anything  to get  him back,  nor an
estranged son who  works in the same field but  had a falling-out with
his father many years ago." <http://www.eviloverlord.com/>
