> you start paying other people for their output to collect a net profit Didn't realize it was that easy. Why doesn't everyone just do this one little trick?

  That's literally what everyone does. It's called "investment".

    Oh interesting, does literally everyone else also pay their investments a salary or hourly wage and benefits like health care? Do they manager the performance of their investments? Can their investments sue them for violating labor practices? Sounds different from what that person was talking about.

      Yes. To employ people is to invest in them. This rhetoric is not uncommon in business. You have spent/are spending money so that eventually it comes back as more money. What else is "investment"?
