The business might fail, it might succeed. Let's say I pull the trigger on the investment and hire someone to work for me for $50,000 a year, with the intention of getting enough revenue for the business to stay afloat before the initial investment runs out. Year 1 we break even, year 2 we make $20,000 more than the labor costs. So I start pocketing the profit or reinvesting it back into the business so I can hire more people and expand operations. Is it not my right as the person who made the initial investment and took on all the risk to pocket profit as I manage the company?

AIDSbeam 11/04/17 1:21:03 PM #52:	FLUFFYGERM posted... @AIDSbeam I'm interested in a serious conversation. Let's say I have $100,000 that I'm willing to invest into a risky business venture. The business might fail, it might succeed. Let's say I pull the trigger on the investment and hire someone to work for me for $50,000 a year, with the intention of getting enough revenue for the business to stay afloat before the initial investment runs out. Year 1 we break even, year 2 we make $20,000 more than the labor costs. So I start pocketing the profit or reinvesting it back into the business so I can hire more people and expand operations. Is it not my right as the person who made the initial investment and took on all the risk to pocket profit as I manage the company? Why is that "exploiting" the person who agreed to work for me for $50,000 a year? Simple. The laborers are the ones creating value. You are not. When you give them a fractional percentage of the value they create, they are being exploited. --- http://i.imgur.com/bDL1nzh.jpg \| http://i.imgur.com/aWIZFAB.jpg <cite>AIDSbeam posted [p:889746781] in Why Libera...
