Whichever way you look at it, you are basically working to pay yourself,

unless of course you were lucky and were born into money !

No,

to simplify just imagine you are a butcher or whatever every day worker really,

you sell meat and make your money that way, you then go to the supermarket to buy fruit etc and spend your wages/money to pay for them.

The shop then uses your (and countless others like you) money to pay their employees.

Some of the shop employees then use their wages/money to buy goods from you which in turn becomes your wages !

You have basically been working in order to receive your own money !

Surely you are working to buy the stuff you got at the supermarket? That's how an economy works. Butcher & supermarket worker start with nothing. They do a bit of work, HEY PRESTO, butcher has some groceries and supermarket worker has some meat. Work is converted into stuff.
