The official economical theory says that their is no relation between the wage and the income ; since you would (obviously?) work twice longer per day if your wage was halfed (unless you are lazy).
It is a bit hard to find examples where workers really accepted to do so, at least up to that point… because those who work hard are lazy and don’t deserve to become rich, unlike the kids of shareholders (or else the system would be unfair, since they receive more than workers…)
