This is a false dichotomy. You don’t toil for the wealthy, you toil for your fellow citizens to whom you provide a service.
Nobody owes you a living.
- zanny 6y agoYour fellow citizens are not employing you or else the desolate ghettos would be overflowing with capital growth. Traditionally it takes a capitalist to start a business that can feed and house a population and that capitalist is in it to extract value from their labor. The job does not exist to serve the community, it exists to make the business owner richer. All the demand in the world will not build a sandwich shop lest a capitalist has the funds to build the building. Even if that capitalist is a local who can get a bank loan to do it, etc.
