Perhaps I'm missing something but how am I working to keep rich people rich? There must be specific instances but is this a general rule?

You provide labour to earn your living as opposed to providing capital.

If you're providing labour then it's likely that you're providing a small percentage of the return that those providing capital receive as dividend.

Value of labor provider being transformed into profit for capital provider.

Sure. You know those police officers and courts of law and militaries you pay for? Those are the guys whose job it is to keep you from grabbing things from rich people.
