When I buy stock I own the company because they're using my money --just like when you mortgage your home you owe money to the guy that buys your lien from the original lender. There's no way around the fact that virtually all US payroll employees are hired by Corporations that first had to sell stocks for lots of money. There's also no way around the fact that people were willing to pay lots of money only because they could later sell those shares for even more money.

--and what happens is corps hire when the stock goes up, and the stock goes up when people spend money bidding up stocks.
