Your analogy is too simplistic, so it misrepesents today’s situation A better analogy of today’s would be so: - Your rich friend and his 19 employees order 20 steaks - Somehow and out of sight the rich friend takes 19 of the steaks, takes 9/10th of each steak for himself, and then replaces them with 19 derived kiddie meals containing 1/10th the steak. - Your rich friend then points out that he and his employees only should pay for 2.9 steaks. - The bill and cost remains the same (100 steaks), so the remaining 80 people foot the bill for 97.1 steaks.
