  I'm afraid the plain fact of the earning gap widening so much over the last thirty years or so:with those at the top (CEOs etc.) getting vastly more than those on the 'shop-floor', - without the least increase in their productivity -, is evidence enough that people are being paid for doing precisely nothing.
  That these are relatively few in number is off-set by the sums involved.
  Add to this the other fact:That none who gain great wealth do so without; a)the efforts of many, b)the buying power of the majority.
  
  Argue all you like that it is perfectly sound for money to be concentrated in the hands of the few, but when this leads to the majority having little or no money the machine of the economy shall grind to a halt.
  
  Think how useless is the 'stored-energy' of the mountain lake while there is no gradient for the out-flow. All leisure and pleasure, but no progress and no growth.
