The end of your made up definition reveals more about your own ideas than capitalism.

Does "keeping it all to oneself" mean keeping it from being taxed? Do you do your taxes every year? Do you take any deductions? If so, you are a greedy capitalist like you're describing.

What you are forgetting by merely mentioning "wealth creation" is that is the point. Without wealth creation stagnation sets in. No new jobs. No lending. No anything.
