Nothing "philosophical" there.
Workers make wealth by creating it, by farming, mining, transportation and distribution. UK company TESCO makes £93,000 per employee, they work 6 hours to earn their wage and the rest 34 hours for the company.

Most control of wealth is passed from father to son, and very little class mobility, if you born poor the chances are you will die poor. While capitalism was in competition with the Soviets wages rose, we had free Health Care and education, now after 30 years of technological development, we "can't afford it" . Wealth is moving from the poor to the rich again. Neo liberalism.....


The American fairy story of making it rich is mostly myth.

The Soviet Union industrialised without any rich people.
