^But if he doesn't get taxed more he at least has the chance to raise wages. You act like Moparman, you think that even though a man invests and takes chances to start a business you're part owner of that business and have a say in how it's run.

Apparently you have never sat in a meeting where the employees have been asked to "show ownership" in the company. Investing your time, talent, expertise, and experience to better your companies position in the marketplace used to actually mean something and lead to fair compensation. Unfortunatly, in the last 3 decades, as production and performance has exploded exponentially by the majority of the people who actually do the work their compensation for this work has remained virtually stagnet or actually descreased when inflation is factored in.
So what have a majority these highly compansated CEO's or EVP's invested? What is their risk if the company underperforms?

^ it all comes down to who controls the company, who writes the pay checks. If you don't like the amounts or what you're doing you're always free to go elsewhere.

You really still believe that nonsense? If that statement was even close to true the minimum wage would be around $21per to even out the increased costs of everything in this "market". Minimum/ low wage jobs are nothing but corporate welfare driving this country over the cliff.

Minimum/low wage jobs exist for a reason. The majority of the people take these jobs when they are young to build their resume and experience. In our society, these jobs were never meant to be a life long career choice.
To most people, the low wages are motivation enough to get off your arse and do something about it...ON YOUR OWN. That's why unemployment is suppose to be temporary...so you get off your arse and do something about it before it runs out.
The majority of the people making a career out of these kinds of jobs have no ambition to do anything else. There are openings right now at the local tech school to learn a trade and quite a few companies offering better jobs than McDonald's.
What's the problem?

If labor were short then wages would go up but they're not, unemployment is something like 7.6%. Then the libs want amnesty for the criminal immigrants?please!
