Very simply: how can it be fair that someone who contributes nothing to the process profits from my labour?

I am the skilled craftsperson who produces furniture. And yet someone takes from me the profit of my work. Beyond the cost of materials, workshop, arranging buyers etc.

After all those costs are accounted for there is still someone else who captures most of the profit instead of me. How is that not absurd?

Without context, this comment sounds like you're against taxes, rather than against capitalism.
