> The idea that workers there are somehow this abused underclass is ridiculous

The heirs who own the majority of most of the FAANG stock created none of the wealth, did none of the work. These rich kids of Instagram never worked, never will - nor did their parents, nor did their parents.

So your argument is the workers creating the wealth should fork over the amount of surplus labor value to these heirs, that is being expropriated.

What about these parasitical heirs you are arguing for? The ones who live off the dividend check wealth created by those who work? "I can't even begin to comprehend your POV". If the worker creating wealth keeping it is an entitled attitude, what is the attitude of these parasitical heirs who do not work?



I work specifically to give things to my children. They are not parasites, they are the motivating force which keeps me productive.
