There is a question that I have had for awhile that was brought up in one of
my classes.  The question was never answered and now if possible, I would
like it to be answered by a Marxian.  How do Marxian's feel about owners of
businesses that receive most of the profit whether it be by labor surplus or
a variety of other ways. It is usually the owner of the business who takes
the leap in the beginning and risks much of what they have hoping their
business will be successful.  What should stop them from reaping the
benefits of developing a successful company.  It is the owner who made the
initial financial risk, not the workers.  My question is how do marxians
feel about the owners receiving the majority of the profit and why do you
feel this way.
