    I’ve found “You work all day and get a small salary. The business owner sits around, and gets a huge payout. Does that seem fair?” is moderately effective.

      You often get “they risk their money!” (so is gambling now something financially good?) or “they worked very hard to get there” (so why aren’t they as burned out as the rest of the “less hard working” workers?)

        Hah, I had written something specifically about “they took on risk!” and a retort of “are we a slot machine and lotto driven society then?” but didn’t polish and post it.

        For the latter, I might zero in on “they worked hard, maybe. Now they don’t. Should a freeloader get more than someone who works?” to see what happens.
