Isn't this person guilty of taking the wealth generated by the management and labor of the company without personally doing any work? Would you consider this an immoral act?

The odd thing about the statement I quoted from you is that I am pretty sure Marx would agree with the statement 100%.....although you two would mean something a bit different.
said owner worked to provide for his child I presume? Otherwise the owner probably would have sold out to his 'management and labor' and laid up on a beach for the rest of his life, long before death. Pretty sure labor and management are happy with their jobs or they would have left long before owner died. If not whose fault is that?
