Then you're not stealing value, that is what capitalists do.
Yeah the people who give me a paycheck so I can survive without having to eat roadkill sure are stealing a lot from me.
I mean sure I live in a house with air conditioning and running water instead of a hole in the woods where I survive off eating worms....but yeah, no, yeah......I'm totally getting exploited here.
I answer some emails and look at spreadsheets. I definitely deserve to own the entire company and determine how it is ran. I have no knowledge or experience and frankly, I dont want to, but the fact of the matter is that I provide .0000000000000000001% of all the effort that goes into the yearly profit and therefore I deserve everything because I am special
They are. How do you think they have more than you?
They have more than me because they put forth more effort.
Are you people really so fucking stupid that you think anyone who has more than you must have stolen something from you?
They have more than me because they did more work. It's really that simple.
They formed a company, not me
They came up with the product, not me
They bought the land, not me
They built the facility, not me
They found the customers, not me
They moved the goods, not me
They supplied the infrastructure, not me
They provide the tools and workspace, not me
They handle all the customs clearances and shipping costs, not me
They designed all the products and packaging, not me
They came up with the software, not me
Why do they have more than me? Because they worked more than me. It's really that simple.
I hate to break this to you, but you arent entitled to something just because someone else has it. Why does that gym bro have six pack abs and big biceps and I have man boobs and a gut. He must have stolen that health from me right?!
Or maybe....just maybe......he put forth the effort where I did not. Nothing was stolen. Someone worked harder than I did, and they reap the benefits of that extra work.
Because I'm smarter than you, shitbird.
I'm more capable, more driven, just plain fucking better than you.
I'm also willing to bet $50 that I'm a better shot than you.
Yup, you are paid a small sum compared to that you produce.
I make just under 70k a year and do about 3 hours of actual work in a week.
If anyone is doing the exploiting here, it's me.
