    Hey now, that’s not fair!

    The owners don’t “earn” shit.

    They lay down their chips from their last trip to the exploitation casino, and take.

    Leeches that don’t do shit.

      I don’t think most people begrudge owners a reasonable profit, especially if they’re running things and taking an active role in the business and pay their workers well. It’s not unreasonable to have some cash squirrelled away for the business having hard times either.

      For me the issue is megacorps who exploit workers shaving working conditions and benefits until it’s bare bones, expecting more work from fewer people at higher quality, paying the bare minimum after being lucky enough to be the first to market with some idea so they’re in a completely dominant position and making billions.
