Lol @ all the bullshit, don't contribute to society, answers. Poor people tend to spend every penny they have, putting it all entirely back into the society. Hoarders of money put less back into the economy, per dollar, if they aren't spending every penny they've got. By that measure, it's the hoarders who contribute less.
Producers also tend to pass all costs onto consumers. Even if a corporation can't dodge all its taxes, they'll pass along the cost of what they can't dodge onto consumers. Those costs also include salaries and health care. By that measure, it's the consumers, including poor ones, who contribute more than the producers.
Producers provide a method for moving the money around, while taking a cut for themselves. An okay system with small businesses, where the producer is also the labourer, and they aren't hoarding vast amounts. A terrible system the more that is skimmed off the top, and not recirculated back into the economy. Might as well be a lord, living off the labour of his peasants, and hoarding vast amounts gold in the process.
So, it's because the system is looked at backwards, that people at the top are praised. You can not get the capitalism ball rolling without the capital in the hands of consumers. They are the ones providing.
