I'm born with a $10 million trust fund given to me by my parents who earned a bunch of wealth under an illegitimate corporate-state-capitalist system. I give it to a hedge fund manager who invests it, lops off a percentage of the profits every year, and I take a fixed income out of it that is greater than the median income of the whole country, which is the richest country on earth.

You can argue that allowing ones capital to be used by those making goods and services is valuable and deserves recompense, as without it the whole magic productivity engine of capitalism would fail, but don't insult our intelligence by saying it is "just as much work" as manual labor.
