Unlike businesses though, I'm not paying minimun wage or exploiting a work force so only a few elite in control become extremely rich. Rather I'm making a profit that I will use to either put into my savings or enjoy a wonderful night with my better half. So who really is a parasite here? |
A parasite refers to an organism that leeches off nutrients of others without any reciprocation. Applying the metaphor to a scalper is perfectly apt - you have gotten money for yourself without actually adding anything to the market (the Wii, as you know, would have been sold regardless).
