Papaya, if we were in the McCarty days of the 50 a post like that would have brought you to the senate "Unamerican Actions Committee" (I am not sure that is the correct title). You are citing Karl Marx almost verbatim. My short version of the old man "Das Kapital" is: "You never get rich from your own work", or in todays Clintonite verbiage: "It is the value added, stupid", or what you call :"Human labor". In honesty, however, the fact remains that the poor laborer lives much better off today that what Marx witnessed in the 1840/50 of England and Europe, and without another of his principles (Accumulation of Capital in a few hands), the "good consumer life" of today's laborer. Of course today's front runner laborer works with his brains not brawn, quite a difference.
