Description

The business owner spends capital that he borrows for a business concept, buildings to house the business, pays the property taxes of said building, buys the machinery and office supplies, hires people to manage his business, hires people to run the machines, and assumes all of the risk. The people to are hired to do the tasks of the business agree to the wages that are offered. You complain that business owners (or CEO's) make 350 times that of the worker, and it is not justified. This is capitalism. You desire socialism. If you don't like this country's concepts, you are free to leave and live and work in another country. Only then will you find out how good it is to live and work in this country despite its flaws. Certain people complain they are not making enough money at their minimum wage jobs, and demand pay raises and when some business owners give in to that, they don't raise the wages of those who are senior to them, and/or they have to terminate some of the lowest seniority workers in order to make up for the increase in money he pays to the demands. What do you think this does to the morale of the rest of the workers? What do you think this does to those who are terminated? Why are those minimum wage earners not getting a higher education so THEY can become business owners? They think they are suppressed, but they are not. The principal reason some Americans have no savings is that they don't know how to manage money. They don't know how to live within their means. They might take advantage of government handouts, but that doesn't solve anything. If you want to attach a political angle to these issues, you can put most if not all of the blame to the democrats, for they desire to hold people down so as to be dependent on them. They brainwash them that they have their best interests in mind, but all they want is the vote. Why are you not handing out money to the poor? That is wealth distribution at is finest.
