We cann't compete with China or Vietnam paying labor $1 a day and that's where the jobs are going. And I get offers to sell my business, which would pay me the equivalent of about 4 years of what I make, plus a fat salary, but of course conditioned on firing most of my people so they don't duplicate existing infrastructure. You're living a fantasy. That makes you a sucker like Joe.
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!

And you are a big fat liar.
Keep saying it until you believe it, Joe. But I know that you know I'm telling the truth and you're confused by it. I have other Republican friends who I confuse, as well...but they're rich so they know what side their bread is buttered on. I'm trying to get you to wake up. Or "get woke," as the new saying goes.
Higher wages happen because you "pay more to make more". Right?
Why would anyone "demand" higher wages, when smart people like you, understand that the more you pay your employees, the more you yourself, make.
Greedy businessmen must be in on the secret.
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.

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.

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?

If you don't understand how it works and that it has worked on you how can you ever figure out the angle to come from? . . . and those people are free thinking liberals, the intelligentsia.
I doubt these nimrods even ponder a question like that...reality hurts too much. They'd rather blame immigrants.
Well, you let them know.
Im willing to be an American for money.
Which immigrants?

So now you have to be paid to come back into the fold?
You said they pay full time.
You must know.
If there's money, let me in on it.
xavi let us in on his business secrets.

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.
