They definitely don’t pay my wages from their own “investment”. My wages are paid from the profits created by myself and coworkers working to create, market, sell, distribute the product.

I’m not going to explain all of macroeconomics to you, but the whole point of this discussion is decreasing prices is bad because money stops moving. If money stops moving, you stop getting paid. Is that simple enough for you to understand or does it need to be dumbed down further?
And I’m pointing out that the rich aren’t actually moving money to anyone but themselves.
So yes, the (rich) investors ARE hurting the economy for their own gain.
No, they invest it otherwise it loses value over time. Invested money is put to work.
