He didn't. The current euphemism is "unearned income" ... which isn't quite right, either. One thing's certain ... somebody worked their ass off for that money, but it wasn't the MittWit. That's his 'entitlement cut' ... the legalized extortion he benefits from. It's the income he receives from the labors of others. Just like the King could take what he wanted from 'allowing' peasants to farm his land, we have a corporate system today wherein labor only receives less than 30% of the value of their labor in the form of "total employee compensation." The rest goes to the Entitlement Class ... our Ruling Class.
