You don't ACTUALLY think the $800 difference between what the worker earns per week and what the product's price is to the end-consumer is the business owner's profit, do you?
This is one of the most retarded myths peddled by brainless people, who not only failed econ 101, marketing, sales and whatnot, but obviously also failed basic math, not to mention common fucking sense.

Quite often he does and very successfully too. It is call the cooperative movement.
The problem is that most people are born into a situation, if you are born in the town of Boron, where most of the work is the mine owned by Rio Tinto, it is impossible to do it themselves, the land has been grabbed.
The story of the capitalist who took his factory and workers to Australia lock stock and barrel, but complained because all the worker ran off, because there was land so the workers did not have to work for crap wages they could farm for themselves.
The State helped in colonies by forcing "criminals" and natives to work for the capitalist to make him rich.
