I would say that it is because we don't reap the benefits of our own work. Our employers do. If you owned a business and had the option of letting me work 3 hours or take a 10 times increase in profits what would you do? And say you are a good guy, and let me work 3 hours, how would you deal with a competitor who is making 10 times the profit your company is with the same numbers of people and payroll?
