That is because you don't understand how wage-labor works, I assume you work for a wage, yes?
Just as an FYI, I have a Masters in Econ. So I indeed have a limited understanding of wages.

Quote:
If so can you honestly say you receive all the product of your labor? Of course not. You only receive a tiny portion of the value of your labor in the form of a wage
First, I don't produce anything tangible, so there is no product. Second, even if did make widgets or whatever, what makes you think I want or need any widgets? It's not very efficient for me to carry around widgets I don't want to trade for eggs. Third, because wages are determined by supply and demand, the value of my labor IS my wage. Which is the part you apparently don't understand.
