OK, who created the means of production in this country?

Well, first lets examine what the means of production are.

Certainly raw materials (minerals, wood) are neccessary for
production.  Who created them?

We can't produce things without food, which is grown in the land.  Who
created the land?

We produce things in factories.  Who created them?  The owners?  All
by themselves?
