    I see where you’re coming from and why you’re drawing that line. My thought is that so many of those investors are not functioning as capitalists considering that they are still workers at the end of the day. They need to participate because of the way things are, where I suppose my idea of a “true” capitalist simply chooses to exploit in order to claim more. I do think there’s a difference between choice and circumstance in that way.

      Totally. Most 401k holders don’t even realise they own companies, never mind thinking about moving their money into something better fitting their particular political and investment philosophies
