### Comment:
People are dumb and don't understand the time/risk investment of starting a business, let alone the value of capital. A friend of mine asked me 'Don't you think people should be rewarded for the effort they put into a company?' and I said 'Yeah, that's called a paycheck.' She said 'No but isn't it messed up that their labor makes the company more money than they get in their paycheck?' 
  
 ??????????????

### REPLY:
What she's describing is, in essence, one of the most basic critiques of capitalism from socialism, near as I can tell. A person's labor contributes X value to their employer but, by definition, the employer needs to pay them less than X under capitalism, else they wouldn't turn a profit. Ergo, the theory that this arrangement is a theft of the person's labor. Don't agree, just summarizing.
