      I’ll help you out. Let’s take the top 500 companies. SP500. According to a crap AI response I’m not gonna double check. It was $2.2 trillion in 2025.

      That’s the wage theft. Profits are just the theft of the workers surplus labor value. And that’s just the top 500 companies.

      We don’t need to investigate wage theft by the definition capitalist prefer. We know where profits come from. They come from you being paid less than the value your work produces. And the capitalist happily post that theft every year.

      If I’m interpreting the text at the bottom correctly, that’s only the amount that actually had to be paid back because of a court decision. So basically the amount that was actually proven. The real number is bound to be much higher.
