Under a capitalist system, money is most easily made by using money to essentially "buy" more money. Investments use poorer people as personal labor forces in order to create more profit. Ask any rich person, and they will tell you: the most effective way to make money is through passive income. That is--you making money while doing nothing.
That doesn't take much work or honesty. Given that the population is 1% psychopath, and 25% of CEOs are psychopaths, I'd say honesty has little to do with it.
Capitalism rewards greed. And obtaining profit however one may do so. Honesty has nothing to do with it.
The primary precept of capitalism is supposedly, "an honest day's work for an honest day's pay." But, what work does an owner of a company do? Virtually nothing. He simply already has money, so he can use that money to hire more workers to make him more money.
Lobbying is also hardly honest, which a great many corporations use liberally to destroy worker protections, pretending they're doing workers a favor by, say, raising minimum wage, while taking worker protections away with the other hand.
No. Honesty or hard work is not how money is made. Poor people think that way.
