This is what capitalists literally do with workers. It's not like capitalists are creating anything valuable, they're just leeches extracting wealth.

I rather have workers get the money than more corporate welfare.

Some capitalists create enormous value, some destroy it, some are essentially passive recipients of returns generated by others.

Capitalists provide real productive functions like capital allocation, risk-bearing, founding, governance, monitoring, etc.
