we are all employees while we can all be employers at the same time.
when we work, we are not just working for an employer. we are working for our own needs. say, if you need a car, be it you HAVE to have it, or you just want one for luxury, then you are working for a piece of paper called paycheck that you will receive every end of the month. that means you are conciously or unconciously working for money. so this time, money is your employer. money can push you around because you want something out of it.
and incase of a shareholder/investor, money is working for him. every piece of penny is consistently generating itself 24/7. is that immoral? well, someone is good at making money means he exersizes his brain at that catgory more than others. it is same as a rocket scientist knows more about nuclear than a lawyer. having money working for one just makes him the rocket scientist of financing area, hardly immoral.
the good thing is, we all can be employees while being employers at the same time, so why not do it? accumulate wealth is not wrong, "the love for money is the root of all evil" how well said! but it is only true if that "love" execeeds certain limit. is atomicbomb evil? it is not by itself. it is how we as human manipulate its power makes the difference. after a long day thinking, I think I begin to understand the Balance that Yorick mentioned. indeed, one needs balance

Very well said 250
Balance
is the key. I think the love of money can be summed up in the simple word
greed!
We can be both an employee and employer of money and we need both. If always an employee we will never truly be free and if only an employer I think we can get lax(sp) in our ethics. The two together keep us grounded but allow us freedom.
