A manager, a worker and an immigrant sit at a table in a bar. The bartender brings a plate with 20 cookies. The manager instantly grabs 19 and whispers to the worker: watch out, that immigrant is eyeing your cookie. 

i wonder who paid for the cookies in this analogy

A lot of this comes down to where you put the credit.

"Business owners have the money"

"Business owners have money, because their workers made most of it for them"

"Business owners made their first chunk of money on their own, and invested it"

"Business owners couldn't have made their first chunk of money, without _________" 

- the education that society paid for,

- plenty of wealthy people got their first start because of other people's tax dollars

And lots of other circumstances.
