I agree. "Cut taker" is the wrong term. Every person who contributes to the manufacture and sale of a product creates added value (wealth). There are two economic types: wealth creators and wealth consumers.
The largest wealth consumers are government, the health industry and education. There are tons more, of course, but those are the biggies.
Instead of health “industry”, I should have specified health providers. The pharmaceutical companies and medical device manufacturers are wealth creators.
