Maximum return

If you are an investor, you expect to see a maximum return on your investment. That is accepted as capitalism
If you are a worker and expect maximum return on your investment, you are seen as a hinderance to capitalism



The middle and lower class put in human capital.
Companies would not be able to start, run, or grow without labor.
They also have 401Ks and other retirement funds that put capital into the growth of companies.

If I put in my time and talents to a company, I do want to see a good return on my investment.

A good return on an investment is an entirely different thing than our current need for maximum return on investment.
A maximum return that takes away from worker's wages, benefits, and pensions in order to increase profits and returns.
A maximum return that fires workers in America and outsources jobs or uses forced labor in other countries

I don't want a return on an investment at the cost of the livelihoods of the majority of Americans
