> Employees risk a lot more than most stock holders by working for a company.

hmm, they can perhaps reduce the risk by not working for a company. They can just be stock holders or launch their own company, that way whatever may happen they will never get fired.

In order to become a stock holder or launch a company, you need to have capital. Capital is hard to acquire when wages are being actively suppressed by a cabal of employers. It is also hard to hold on to capital when your health care system is intentionally designed to strip away generational wealth from workers. Then to add a cherry on top, you lock the higher wage jobs behind an additional investment that can only be funded by non-dischargeable loans. Then you have the rent seekers, both literal and figurative. Landlords, insurance companies, toll roads, etc...

so you mean riskier?

No, more like a fairy tale.
