Capitalists are those who own capital; the principal instrument for holding capital in this country is stocks; there is no mistake. Most people do not work such long hours, and most owners of businesses run their businesses. In fact, since the corporate form is the primary means of ownership of sizable companies, most owners are in fact under the scrutiny of Boards of Directors and shareholders. 60k is a comfortable salary. Are you under the illusion that it is natural for people to be well- off, and only inequitable conditions can account for mediocre wages? It is natural for people to be dirt poor, and even those in relative poverty in this country are rich in comparison to most of the world. Some improvements probably did come from labor agitation, but much of it came from prosperity.
