Each one of us, has an abiding desire, to pull their own weight and to earn income, of which for most Americans, this is accomplished through labor. There are exceptions to this of which, for instance, some that are handicapped are unable to work, in addition to there being some people that perform work that they do not receive direct monetary compensation from, such as housewives or those that do charitable work without compensation; and then there are those that because of their economic privilege in life, do not need to work, because they either have inherited money, or have enough money to make even more money from that money, through things such as passive investments, such as stocks or bonds, or by virtue of more active investments, such as having equity in a company that employs people that work for them.
To the degree that those that employ that capital, fairly negotiate with their workers so that there is a fair sharing of the profits so generated, this then is good. To the degree that workers are outright exploited, and the finances of a given company are opaque as well as being skewed to provide the lion's share of the benefits and monies to those in the highest management positions, this is not good. Also, anytime that those that provide capital, such as banks, or people, or a consortium of stockholders that create a given company, in which those providing the capital, lift nary a finger to actually produce anything of value, but basically stipulate that the value of what they are providing is that capital, alone; of which a significant portion of the value and worth of that company becomes the domain of these investors of capital, then there is something fundamentally wrong about that.
In other words, too many of those that bring capital to the table, appear to, more often than not, to benefit from simply putting that capital to use, and thereby to reap the easy rewards from simply having money, to make more money. Further, because money is necessary in order to purchase items and goods that are required for people to function and to live, those that are able to dictate the terms of how much compensation, and the conditions of such employment, to those that have little or no money but a need to be gainfully employed, are utilizing their capital as a form of economic power to benefit primarily themselves. While, it is true that those seeking employment are free to look at a multitude of places for that employment, in reality, beggars are not in a real good position, to be choosers.
Further to the point, there are many good people, that have specific talents and a good work ethic, but lack the necessary capital to create their own business or workplace, in which in order to get that capital, they must thereby seek a loan, of which the parties so loaning that money, are in essence, piggybacking their payback from the sweat of the brow of the person, so diligently working. This doesn't mean that those providing capital deserve no compensation, for they are risking money; but rather what this so indicates is that the price for that money so being loaned, should never be predatory, but should rather be reasonable, and that he who earnestly labors, is certainly entitled to have a reserved seat at the table of success.
