Your meme, Barry, is incredibly naive.

The workers would not have a job without the company. The company would not generate revenue without the workers. The company uses the revenue to pay the workers, and in many cases, the investors. (shareholders)

It's a symbiotic relationship, but one that requires the company to exist first. This is not the chicken and the egg.

How does the company exist first? Somebody had to build that company; often through excessive amounts of hard work. 70 or 80 hours a week (or more!) Sure, the framework in which they built it exists, but that framework (the infrastructure counter-argument) is there for everyone, and didn't magically appear. It was paid for by taxes that we all paid. (well, most of us... those with jobs or who have started a company)

It's not like the owner of a company (or the CEO, or whatever job title you wish to bash) sits around doing nothing, while the workers do everything, as your meme implies. That's incredibly naive.

Try building a company and working less than 70 or 80 hours a week. It's hard to do. You'll find that the govt isn't there to help you. They're there to impose regulations on you, that in most cases make absolutely no sense.

It's *almost* as if they've never tried to start a business!
