It is not "burning my ass" up for someone to make a dollar, that is the mirror you are looking at QD. As to your premise of the buying a bigger ship and hiring more people to sail it, are you not advocating government supplementation of the business? such as tax breaks and incentives? because to me that is exactly what you are saying. They do something similar in China. If a company is producing a product for sale here in the US and they need to do it cheaply, the government will supplement that's company's coffers to help pay employees so that the company can make it cheaper.
I personally think that you are conflicted and are cofused about what you want. you think the ship needs to be bigger, but you want everyone on it to be captains or first mates and it does not work that way. if EVERYONE on the ship invested their own money in buying it, equal parts, then they would all be entitled to help steer it, but that is not what happens.
Like I said, you are the one displaying jealousy about someone making a dollar, not me. My ass is fine.
