Money sitting in a vault and money invested in companies that employ people and produce value for society could not be more different.

Not to be too negative, but

>money invested in companies

does not equal

>produce value for society

Necessarily. Those two things CAN be the same, but aren't necessarily the same.

Needlessly pedantic. If companies are profitable, they provide some sort of value even if you don't think so. Much more than people sucking up welfare benefits and not giving back, at least.
