Cute, but a moronic view of the way things work.

Ownership entails risk; employment is a job. The business owner who puts up their savings to open the doors to the place risks losing everything if the business fails, unlke the employees who risk a weekkly (guaranteed) paycheck. The reward for taking that risk is the profit, if any.

Of course, a "board" exists for the corporate entity, so this is a bit off kilter anyway.

But to the unwashed masses who don't understand reality, it is funny no doubt.

Yes, those poor billionaire CEOs and board members. Maybe if the government gave them a tax break, that would trickle down to the common people - washed or unwashed.

Reality? Billionaires have a different reality.

Malarkey. . .or kool aid

And your reference to the “unwashed masses” certainly discloses your addiction to the conservative kool aid.

Well imagine - if you were to risk you life savings and create and run a successful business then you could join that club as well!

Business owners do not put their "savings" in a business unless they can't get financing. Business owners go to financial institutions who in turn go to the Federal reserve and get 1% money. And since the Fed gives them free $$$ banks no long want deposits and have certificates of deposit with reasonable rate. most of seniors retirement are no longer in insured certificates but in the uninsured stock market. I was small business owner for 30 years (35 employees) and did not use my $$$.

I'm on the Board of my camera club and the Board members do All the work. The membership sits and reaps all the benefits.
Leave the business people be. Or Join them if you think it's so easy. No one has ever gotten a job from a poor person as everyone knows.
