To keep the metaphors dumb, because the Capitalist Boss can hire another employee to increase output, instead you the lone shoemaker, having to either work harder to make more shoes per hour to increase your margins, or use cheaper materials, realize you can't increase the amount of money you can make in the same way.
Because the capitalist didnt make his money skimming off of one person's work. It's everyone involved in the making of the shoes. Or Coats. The Capitalist didn't add $19.90 to the cost of the making of a coat. The coat, by the rules of Liberal Economics, should cost $30.10 because of the amount of work that went into it.
