      Without you and the janitor the CEO would have no surplus value to steal.

      If you’re going to make the “capitalists create jobs” argument, at least make it properly. The CEO isn’t the owner nor the investor.

      As for the argument you want to make, if there weren’t capitalist investors, we would have a different method to allocate resources and create jobs.

      Sure the janitor could have a job. Nationalized custodial jobs could definitely be a thing. Imagine every custodian having good-quality federal government healthcare plans.

      CEO, not so much.
