Nice hand-wave. This presumes some people produce most value, and they bear the burden of carrying others (who receive value).

This is all very vague. I disagree with this notion pf how government works until you can be clearer of who you are talking about.

> Those people are society.

So is a drug dealer. Or a con artist. Among many others.

The state exists in part to regulate what is allowed or not.

Babysitters, Local tradespeople, their clients, etc and so forth benefit from it.

I mean, that's actually how it works, only the people who produce most value are the workers, and the people who receive most of it are the capital owners.

I agree, to an extent.

I seriously doubt that's the dynamic GP was referring to.
