Ah yes. It is not only the fault of composition that the vast majority have accepted without inspection. The real distinction between earned and unearned, what constitutes earned and unearned, this has been blurred by special interests. And what is a free-market - generally miscomprehended as meaning something like free of regulation, free of government interference. Here are some points about 'free markets':
The Language of Looting
"
Economic writers from the 16th through 20th centuries recognized that free markets required government oversight to prevent monopoly pricing and other charges levied by special privilege. By contrast, today’s neoliberal ideologues are public relations advocates for vested interests to depict a “free market” is one free of government regulation, “free” of anti-trust protection, and even of protection against fraud, as evidenced by the SEC’s refusal to move against Madoff, Enron, Citibank et al.). The neoliberal ideal of free markets is thus basically that of a bank robber or embezzler, wishing for a world without police so as to be sufficiently free to siphon off other peoples’ money without constraint."
The best thing would be to read some of the blogs of the various economists in the videos. They accept questions.
