If money from investments made with earned money isn't also earned money then no money is earned money.

Of course it's earned money, it's just that someone else earned it.

Increasingly those someones are people who have a lower standard of living than their parents' generation did.

That tends to rot those someones' faith in the future, which is a good way to bring about undesirable changes in a society.
