I think "took" or more neutral "received" should be used, not "earned."

They rigged a system so that they get more out of joint efforts of workers than they really earned, while they deny a living wage to many who work at the lower levels of the corporation.

They divvied up the pie in their own favor, with no understanding or appreciation of what others did to create the pie.
