I really don't understand right's obsession with "mine, stay away, mine!". Do bank CEOs earn multimillion dollar bonuses while taking bailouts? This might be extreme example, but nobody earns anything in a vacuum. As exploitative as they might be, our society made these bonuses possible, not efforts of these CEOs. Society, in its entirety, from welfare queens to cure-for-cancer inventors, make your earning possible.

Whatever you do for living, imagine you are moved to Somalia. Do you see your life drastically changing and your ability to earn entirely disappearing as a result of absence of society enabling you to earn?
