Just dismissed the fact that millions of people have jobs and feed their families because of the businesses that these millionaire billionaire trillionaire have created. The entrepreneur/capitalist have an idea of something they want to create. The byproducts are jobs and their own wealth and improvement in peoples lives. Go take a long walk on a short pier.

I am not opposed to billionaires and millionaires creating jobs, I do know that billionaires and millionaires have to exist to create the companies that create jobs. I am just saying that billionaires shouldn't disregard the man who does an honest day's work in favor of his own gain and treat the man who does an honest day's work for him with the respect the man deserves. If a society promotes the idea that one must do an honest day's work, then society must reward the working man properly and not treat the working man like he is nothing. I mean what's the point in believing in honest hard work when you don't give it the proper recognition in the first place. I am not opposed to rich people existing, I just believe the rich should not try to crush those underneath them. You can still be rich without doing evil things.

The value of labor is often a product of supply and demand. Professional sports is one of the most capitalistic industries around. People with unique skills and talents get paid the most. There are very a few people who can do what those in the NFL, NBA, PGA, etc.. can do. And every year some of the best get replaced by somebody new. Those who make the effort to increase their skill and knowledge generally get rewarded.

I do agree with that. The value of labor does exist but it can't exist without the demand for certain types of labor in the free market. Karl Marx wasn't the only one to believe in the theory of value of labor, Adam Smith too, the father of free market capitalism. I was never into sports and even find them overrated but since they entertain a lot of people and are very popular and draw in a large crowd, I have no problem with sports stadiums and teams drawing in the profit it draws in and the players such as Michael Jordan, LeBron James, etc. getting paid the large amount they get paid, that's not a problem to me, they are getting paid a large amount they did earn fair and square. They do have a lot more money than me but why should I be pissed off at them? They work in a job that requires the skills they have, a job they have the skills for, a job I don't have the skills for and never cared about persuing as a career and never intended to gain the skills for. They have nothing to do with me. They work in their own field that I never wanted to work in but they decided to work in, they aren't people I did work for and didn't pay me, so it's none of my business of what they do in their job and how much they get paid and I have no reason to complain about not being paid $1000 an hour for doing a menial fast food job. I am just saying that those who do whatever work they do need to be properly compensated for their work and the service they provide and those who they work for do need to pay as promised and not screw them in the deal and not try to act like they are entitled to people's labor for free, be it a highly paid sports player or a minimum wage janitor, both types of workers need to at least always be paid what was agreed upon in the first place.

If you don’t feel you are being paid fairly for what you bring to the table, then go elsewhere.

A janitor does not bring the same value to a company as an accountant

Go f**k your with your child arrogant insults. You MAGA chuds are nothing but a bunch of shitty schoolyard bullies who have absolutely no concept of basic human decency towards your fellow human beings. The despicable way you act only proves my point.

May I ask you this? Is Marxism when you want someone to hold up their end of a business deal as much as you did, pay you for properly for the work you did for them and not pull a fast one on you? If you actually think that then by that logic wanting Sam Bankman-Fried brought to justice for his crimes of mass crypto fraud is Marxism.

True. Some people think billionaires’ wealth is cash in the bank. It’s not. It’s stocks or other assets such as land, buildings, factories, etc..
The government could take most of Musk‘s (or Taylor Swift’s) wealth to distribute to the poor, but who would have the money to buy all his stock (or her music rights). The value of the stock will go down because there wouldn’t be enough buyers. So that $1 trillion value gets diminished to maybe $800 million or even less.
