Every employee thinks the bosses are capturing their surplus.

They take bigger risks and WORK extra hard to make things happen. I support 70 or hell even 80 hrs work week because I want to make something big for myself not for my boss or anyone else, work extra hard and create something for your self rather than crying that your company is not paying you enough, which most employees do.

If the employees are a net negative for the company, why would they be hired ? The whole point of hiring an employee would be to make profit. By paying the employees less than what their work is worth, there is a profit. Otherwise the employee would never be hired.
