Ponderable

Everybody demands higher wages. I stay out in front of it because I don't want to lose my people to the competition. Costs too much time and money to train newbies. Maybe I'd make more at the end of the day if I paid less, but as I said, I don't have shareholders to worry about and if I make a little less, that's ok. I'm betting that the stability and productivity make me more, though.

Where's the problem?
Im sure all your smart, and rich friends, do the same.

If there's money and business stability in paying more than market value, Im sure there are millions who already know your secret.

I have to point out what a masterful job the people pulling strings on the right are doing. In an era of unprecedented massive wealth and real estate and stock prices minting millionaires and billionaires daily, the finger is pointing at the working man (and woman) demanding higher wages. Classic!

They do employ full time staff working on how to manipulate public opinion, think tanks, it's just not all of us bite.

Like the hypnotist show I saw at the fair, some people just won't be hypnotized.

It is an eye opener to see what the Union bosses make. That's a lot union dues and not much say on how it is spent.

Money does eventually corrupt, but if you want the best you have to them . . . what percentage of an average employees wages does a CEO make these days and are they totally worth it?

I doubt these nimrods even ponder a question like that...reality hurts too much. They'd rather blame immigrants.

We have had a rash of employee theft lately by companies trying to get ahead of the pack . . . a few dollars here a few dollars there makes a big difference to the worker and huge difference to the contractor as now they have acquired some real ass kickers for just a bit more an hour.

Market forces at work.
I always pay a little more than the other guys.

When the economy heats up, like it is now, you have to pay more.

You said they pay full time.
You must know.

If there's money, let me in on it.

You'll need to move to DC, wear a suit and tie to blend in and be willing to spend long hours trying to figure out how to get usually intelligent people to go against their own best interests. You will need some background in psychology.

Why do I need to move to DC?
Everything is on the interwebs.

I can do it in my underwear, like xavi, from his mom's basement.
We can tell stories of how intelligent we are, and how we "drunk with Breitbart and Bannon"
