(4,795 posts)If you can't have everything of more, you don't want any more at all? That's disgusting.
If the growth of your company relies/depends upon the labor of people outside your family, why should they not own some part of the growth they were essential for creating? Why must you own ALL of such growth?
This is a mind-boggling argument drowning in selfishness. If anyone is in the position to grow their wealth by simply appropriately rewarding "others" for helping them do it, I would suggest they are stupid for not doing so. Of course, we live in a system where the norm is to achieve growth by exploiting labor, so any step toward egalitarianism is of course alien.
Your basic argument is that it is a disincentive to become *even wealthier* if you must reward others who are necessary to the process. Wow.
