Capital earns its own income

There is a difference between 'farming' and other types of work... with farming we must only maintain the status quo and we will be fed and wealthy. With other types of work (such as being employed on a farm) we must continue to work otherwise we will starve. The farmer must only maintain their property for a harvest to be assured... the work is driven by the environment... when the seasons change the crop is sown... when it grows it is harvested. Provided the farmer is able to keep up with these demands then they will be rich. For workers of the other type it is not enough to keep up with events... even by doing so we have no guarantee of being rich. We have no capital which will earn an income.
