    Does a millionaire go out on the street and knock you down with a gaspipe to rob you of a few dollars? O, no. He builds a factory and robs his workers in a way that is much safer, more profitable and within the law.

Just as it is wrong to generalize all anarchists as violent because a few commit violent acts, is it not wrong to generalize the factory owner or the millionaire? Are there not business owners that work equally hard alongside their workers to build something in which they can all share? Though the returns may not be equitable, should they be? If so, why?
