Ah, well totally worth $14-$17 million then. Poor babies, and I'm sure they are totally unique in that way.
Neither is wrong. It's quite literally the foundation of capitalism. The 'wrong' is that for capitalism to continue to function there needs to be some relative equality at the bargaining table. If one side has all the clout, that's no longer capitalism and is serfdom. Let's take one small aspect of the result of the growing wage gap. Do you see what housing prices are doing? Do you know how many residential properties are now being bought by investment firms and then rented vs how many remain in individual hands? Do you think it's a good idea for your employer to also control your housing and your retail outlets? You know, company housing and a company store? Can you look at literally any point in human history and see where a sizable middle class existed when wealth and power was concentrated in fewer and fewer hands? We aren't allowed to discuss politics, so let's discuss the simple economics of it. Why are monopolies illegal? What is the lesson there for issues that are created when an extreme power balance occurs in economic negotiations?
It matters for that reason, regardless of how you were raised if you would like to keep a robust middle class. Some people were raised to be good slaves as well. Poor people don't stay poor because of lack of money, they stay poor because of lack of education and the ability to put that education to work.
