The more market oriented things are, the more people like markets. The more self-reliant people are, the more they dislike government dependence. Just look at how the people who run their own businesses have some serious hatred for government (like those in trades), while those who have very little responsibility love government (like students).
Like what?
Pretty surprised you can't answer the second question. Capitalism has a mechanism for wealth-accrual. The most successful become the wealthiest. Wealth means the ability to command more work and resources which gives you an edge for controlling more wealth. Wealth can breed more wealth. At some point, some where, some one will wield so much wealth, they could tip over from using wealth to participate in the market place to using wealth to control the lives of people most dependent upon him. He may also use his wealth to guard his ability to generate wealth which could approach something like war.
Your first point is meaningless. People who have their money taken don't like having their money taken - so what?
edit and its doubly meaningless because of your internet point, where people are self-reliant through piracy and human nature is clearly sitll alive and well as seen by all the tribalism and hatred that spreads like wildfire throiughout it.
