Capital is not static?
I heard that capital isn't like this big tree full of money that is always just there for you to redistribute! Turns out it'll dry up and die if you don't encourage it's growth! Then you starve! WOW!!

@Munumbis only getting paid for labor? Sounds fair. Let's abolish the stock market where people multiply their money without contributing to production. No more lifetime pensions for politicians after serving one term. No more huge bonuses for CEOs just for arranging enough government subsidies for their company not to go bankrupt. You may be onto something there.

When you have more than anyone can possibly spend in 10 lifetimes, maybe continued growth isn't necessary and 10% of it drying up isn't the end of the world.

@Munumbis no, taxes. Theft is when employees quadrupple the value of goods, get paid minimum wage and the stakeholders take the rest of the value of their work.

@NerdyPotato Another Marxist fallacy. The idea that company owners somehow owe workers anything beyond what is agreed to when they're hired. The company belongs to the owner not the employees.
@Munumbis and that's why capitalism is failing its workers.
