[Colonel Kangaroo]

We not only work harder than all those we provide jobs for, we also provide nearly all the capital and take all the risks to create businesses and build communities and retail centers and everything else that provide the majority of jobs.

I agree with the article writer that Matthews' idea is nonsense. But class warfare is incorrect both ways and the idea that any group has a monopoly on hard work and usefulness is also detrimental. Some of the hardest working, most honorable and socially useful people work the so-called humblest jobs.

Right on the nose. And the assumption that capitalism perfectly allocates resources according to value is a fallacy that has been quite clearly demonstrated. A person who could be quite valuable to others but cannot bargain well is not paid as well as those who create nothing but can swindle a deal.
