I understand your point Mike, I really do, and I know its not easy work to own/run a Business and that the owner is the one taking all the risk financially. That, and without their effort there wouldn't be the jobs anyway. I think you and Mr. cool and calm are just taking my view and running with it to the extreme.
(hopefully you didn't stop reading yet thinking I don't understand and getting ready for your next reply). Me, I'm also taking it to the extreme with making it look like I feel ALL Companies need to pay better etc. etc.. I don't feel that way, and I explained that!
-I DON'T think anyone should get a raise if they are a crappy employee..
-I DON'T think a Business owner should be making what employee's make..
-I
DO think every business owner should make as much as they possible can BUT not by playing with employee's salaries. Pay people what they are ethically worth not by what you can get away with or what "free market" allows you to.
In the end NO Company should be lowering their risk or raising their profits based on how they can play with employee's salaries. That's what bugs me.
