My boss (the owner) bills clients $200 for an hour of my work. I get $80 of that. Of the $120 difference, about half goes to overhead, and half goes to making him rich. And why shouldn't it? He has to go to all the trouble of finding clients and keeping the business running. He goes on vacation and still thinks constantly about his business, and ends up answering emails a couple hours a day anyway. OTOH, when I leave for the weekend, I leave completely.
Brian would like to take all the reward out of entrepreneurship and follow the North Korean economic model.

This.
The Squirrel has to work until his nut is made. If he doesn't make his nut in 8 hours(or less)...he works overtime or dies. It only makes sense that humans are entitled to an 8 hour work day if there is a God who designed it that way.
Brian should become a theist because he assumes humans are entitled to things only God can give them.
Oh fucking knock it off, your bullshit cold war talking points is bullshit.
Sorry it bothers you that liberals can and do value an open market. No sane western voter I would call sane wants America to become Cuba or North Korea. You are simply getting pissy because other people vote.
Oh and for your information, "capitalism" is NOT a form of government. Gadaffi was a billionaire who owned stock in GE. The Saudi Royal family are BILLIONAIRES who own oil companies and invest in bank and weapons stock. And I have no doubt that Un's family has stock in the global market too.
I have run into idiot atheists who stupidly think you can rid a planet of 7 billion of the private sector and support assholes like Che, who lead to Cuba. I am not one of them.
Nope, that line is not working anymore. Saying the pay gap is hurting us, and pointing to the real welfare queens is not a call to end the open market. Did you click on those links? Not asking you to take my word for it. I gave you two successful business owners who would be just as against North Korea's closed system as you. If rich people are telling other rich people they are doing it wrong, you have no case.
Class monopolies are just as bad as political or religious monopolies. And all power requires income to create those powers which can lead to monopolies and abuse of power.
You cold war bullshit wont work anymore. No one is out to get you dumbass. But only an idiot thinks our current climate and exploding pay gap is good.
