You're right, I guess we should also murder shop owners, pharmacy owners, clothing production owners, prostitutes, even councils who charge for toilet usage, self-help gurus, artists.. All people who provide needs that are affected by market trends.
You will not die without most those things, and the things you would are either currently being hoarded and killing people (shop owners destroying edible food to increase margins, pharmaceutical companies gouging for AIDS medication, insulin, etc), or cannot effectively hoarded (bathrooms, scam artistry, regular art).
