No, "we" means anyone invested in those companies who make gains or who has loaned money to those companies (which could occur through your bank account).
Someone with no money to invest (directly or indirectly through savings accounts) can't benefit.
So, instead of getting paid well, we should be happy with companies indirectly contributing a little to us through their succcess? Sounds like a great excuse for people in the middle to skim a cut.
Look - I'm not saying I don't see the value of business, but that doesn't mean we should just let businesses do whatever the hell they want because them doing well benefits their owners/investors (direct and indirect).
