False. That's my favorite line from anti-capitalists. Actually they work more
than you'll ever do. The myth about the boss at the top who does nothing but
pile money earned by his slaved workers is just that: a myth. Try work 80
hours a week, 7/7 with maybe 3 or 4 days off a year. Almost no time for your
child and your wife. And then when you're in your Mercedes, there's always a
jerk to point at him "look at the f---'in rich who exploit his employees and
does nothing all day long". Yeah right.
You don't beleive me ? Any single studies ever made will show you as a proof
that in general, the richier a person, the bigger his work load.

Can you put more contradiction ??? :-) By putting money in the market you
AVOID ruining people lives with mass job cuts ! It's when people stop putting
money in the market that everything goes wrong. I definitely don't understand
your logic, as you seem not to understand at all capitalism :-)
Ouf ... I feel better ... sorry for the rant, nothing personnal, just an
emotional topic for me :-)

My favorite line of capitalists. We own everything. If you don't work for
us you will starve. Ha ha ha. Of course, all the ones who benefit the most
from this system have not worked a day in their lives.
