      Because that’s the only way it will work? How do you expect businesses to exist and pay bills when they make zero money?

          So we should just sell items for what they cost? Doesn’t matter if you spent all day working, you get nothing because you just sold everything for what it costs? That’s a better society?

          Businesses first need to pay employees, that’s an obvious one, nobody is going to work for free. Then they need to pay for all the raw materials they buy, and the electricity, etc. If they can’t make a profit they aren’t paying any of those.
