What? How does what you're saying contradict my point at all, or make me "not right" in the case of not-all-rich employees? You're just explaining the reason that investors choose equity and employees choose salary, which has nothing to do with my point. Employees get cash flow heavy comp over equity, which is better during the company's existence and worse during its liquidation. Investors get equity heavy comp packages, which is worse during the company's existence (no cash flow) and better during its existence. My complaint about the GP comment was that looking at one half of a tradeoff is obviously going to make it look better, just like saying that I'm ripping off Amazon at the time of delivery because I don't pay anything at that moment, while ignoring the fact that I paid them earlier. Your comment is a complete non sequitur
