I don't see it that way.

Let's create another scenario. We are family members. Whatever I earn, I give you half.

Scenario A: I never get a job, you end up with $0.

Scenario B: I get a job, but only if you agree to take 25%, not 50%. I take the job paying me $100 and you get $25.

It's not cash out of anyone's pocket.
