Really think about it , you can have the greatest idea, be the hardest worker on the planet if there aint a bunch of little workers under to grow and sell your product. Its just a good idea. Its like peanut and jelly. You need both.

Those employees are there for nothing but a paycheck. They get done and go home to enjoy life.
Why would you ever think that employees following orders are the ones who really build a company? It's simply not true.
GOOD employees can definitely be an advantage to a company. So they get paid more.
All I know is every guy that ever worked for me did what they had to to just get their job done. They didn't want to work weekends or late nights.
Me? I work weekends, holidays, all day and all night. It's me with the pressure, risk, capital, etc.
If the business owner goes down, he's screwed. The employee just goes to another job.
But let's forget owners...and go back to what I said:
Executives. Both you and GrantMercury have posted stats about the "overpaid" executives.
But those guys started somewhere (at the bottom). And through higher intelligence, sacrifice, work ethic, etc. SURPASSED the average worker grunt and EARNED their way up the ladder.
This is still the land of opportunity. And nobody is stopping people from working weekends, holidays, etc. for no pay just to move ahead in a company.
But only a very, very few ever do.
The rest just do their tasks and go home.
