I've no problem either with people using their talents to make a reasonable profit and a comfortable living. But the current economic system isn't about that at all, unfortunately, it is simply about the concentration of the greatest amount of wealth and power into the smallest possible group of people. That is why less than one percent of the world's population own half its wealth.
Thats what they cant understand. Nobody is saying everyone has to be poor or jobless to prove themselves. And no body is demanding everyone make the same. And nobody is saying they are all evil because they own businesses. We are only saying we cant keep going like this. Of course I don't mind business ownership. Wouldn't be typing this if someone didn't own a business to make the things I use to type this. But yea, I do have a problem when people say "Know your place because I have a title and earn more than you". No modern housewife I'd call sane would or should put up with a dictator. Business owners are a roll, but part of a bigger picture and only one piece of the puzzle.
If you cant see the harm our current corporate climate is, then you are out of touch. And the worst part, is that the mom an pop shops side with the corporate goons who wouldn't hesitate to squash them too if they wanted to. If you don't take care of workers, even the rich will end up getting affected by it. No matter how they try to justify it, there is no such thing as "I did it all by myself". That is literally physically impossible.
