    Easy. By definition, if the money is going back into the business it isn’t profit. It’s overhead.

      No, it’s still profit. It’s profit that’s reinvested into growing the business. Profit is revenue - operating costs. Scaling is not an operating cost, it’s an investment.

          The ones who made it possible at the beginning, and paid workers wages from their own money? Screw those guys!

            What is it about being wealthy that makes you deserve a bigger share of the results of group labor?

            If anything that’s a great reason for them to get the least out of the venture, they didn’t do the work

              Well, the capital.

              Instead of fucking off to a tropical island and drink daiquiris into the sunset you decide to invest, create jobs and risk your cash.

              If you don’t like it, create your own company and work for yourself, plenty of people are doing exactly that. See how easy it is to be owner/investor.
