Everything in life is a gamble, from how you choose to spend your time, to what career path you choose, to where you choose to live, to whom you marry. If we went to the casino and played our best, with some winning and some losing, and at the end of the night they said, ok, sorry we have to split your winnings evenly with everyone else including those who lost, why go? That would take the fun out of everything. That is the contrast between capitalism and socialism-communism.
