^This is a good post, overall. I disagree with some of your views on business ownership and capitalism though. The reality is that I took the risk when I started my business and made enormous sacrifices to get it to where it is. The fact that I can hire people and now profit off their labour is part of the reward in the risk/reward scenario. You get compensated for that risk, if these risks don't put you out of business in the first couple of years, which as we all know is what happens in about 80% of the cases.
And yeah, inequity does suck. But the harsh reality is that we'll never actually have real economic equality.
