I tell you even worse group. Stock owners. Those people put some money to fancy ETF or investment fund. They do absolutely zero work and some how expect that money to appreciate or even give out dividends. While the poor workers of these companies get pittance or sub-standard wages with which they can barely afford nothing. And then those same companies exploit their customers while always pumping up the prices and extracting maximal margins...

Really if these people just died and the companies moved to their workers or customers what would change?

Landlords provide one thing capital. And capital expects returns. Maybe at times there is not enough competition in where capital is spend, but in general it is not that great place to put capital.
