Can you elaborate on this? I'm not seeing it.

If you have someone willing to provide a service, and someone else willing to buy the service that is offered, how is this a problem?

Are you including more than the buyer and the seller in your analysis?

I think you are presenting a pristine idealization of a free market that doesn't exist in the world.

My current gig involves me selling services to my customer, and that customer paying the agreed upon rate for those services.

Yes, the government forces its way into every deal it can, and yes, this is something most people see as a good thing.

I don't still don't see what's parasitical about the original comment, however. Can you speak to that?
