Subject: M-INTRO: capitalist vs. worker 


In past discussions many have talked about how the capitalists have 
been taking advantage of the workers and not paying them what 
they deserve.  I think there are also some situations where the 
worker is doing just as well as the capitalist.  One example would be 
the professional athlete where now days he is paid millions and 
millions of dollars a year reguardless of how he performs.  True the 
capitalist or owner of the team can make a lot of money as a result 
of the athletes performance but he is also the one taking the risk.  
He could actually lose money whereas the athlete is paid millions no 
matter how he performs or how the team performs.  In this situation I 
think the worker has the advantage what do you think about this?
