Successful businesses support the livelihoods of all of the families that depend on that business's continued success,

Just want to point out that this point is entirely back-peddling your original point (an objection to "get over yourselves").

If the point of a given company is that it supports a person and maybe dependents, then you really don't need to ask someone why they want to work at the company or whether they believe in the company, because the answer is obviously "because you will pay me." I mean, corollary to the value of most companies being that they support people via the salaries and wages they pay, is the companies shouldn't be injecting the implication that their employees should sacrifice and work for less given the importance of the work the company does (and that ethos is widespread).
