Can you point to any Marxist source of literature that discuss these ideas?

Well, I salute your apparent willingness to learn about other "isms" before
passing judgment on them.  Only a fool argues against something he has no
basis to refute.  As to creating wealth, I haven't creating much wealth.
I just manage to make a living.  In fact, a living many would consider a
damn good living.  I have worked for the last 15 years.  Not quite 35 years.
But I really work very hard though.  I work 12 hours days a lot.  Sometimes
around the clock, if I have a deadline.

Well, no, our accountant does that.  Actually our accountant used to do that.
ADP does that for us now, we have become a business in which outsourcing 
payroll makes more sense.  But what's your point?  That if I count my and
my partners' money, I won't think the way I think?  A few of my partners
don't agree me, but a few do.
