I understand this sentiment. I have friends that are small business owners and they do work hard. So do their employees. My friends however are vacationing in Hawaii while their employees are making minimum wage

It's not the hard work, it's the exploitation of labour which is fundamental to capitalism

My friends feel like they are entitled because they took the risk and came up with the idea. But where'd they get the money to start up? Generational wealth. the system creates inherent inequality that isn't based on 'hard work and merit ' but on lucky to be born in that country with that skin colour with those parents

It's the capitalism
