While networking today I was asked why I strongly opposed go after getting a senior role at a firm. Why I started my coop talent agency and what drives me.

In my bumbling at explaining what I'm doing what I do I said,

"I just had to stop making exploiters millionaires (I have made a few) while they make my life (and those I lead lives) a living hell."

Why, (in America) has the working class been so throughly brainwashed into accepting exploitation, unequal representation, and accepting that the fruits of your labor (or creative energy) is a commodity that another will exploit for a 2000% return?

Means justifies the exploitation?
