[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't start a company so that others could afford more goods and services. This is a business, not social services.

If you want to spend years building a business- then feel free to. Take all of your hard work, sacrifice, and passion and channel into making sure that others can buy more goods. You do that with your business.

As for my business- if I need someone to answer the phone, respond to emails, stuff envelopes....whatever. I am not paying 40k a year. Keep on pushing and you will push me to outsource even more than I already do. And when I say outsource, I mean to Asia, not to another company. Less hassle, little red tape, harder workers.

So I still win, and you have pushed someone else out of a job.

If you don't like it, then start your own company.[/quote]

And the result is that you've extracted what you want out and left what?  Poor workers overseas, poor neighbors in low wage jobs, etc.  If everyone does this, America will be a third world country where vast legions of poor and a few rich people own everything, if not already.

Minimum/living wage shouldn't make anyone feel comfortable, but we should try to ensure that legal citizens can make it if they try (I've no sympathy for illegals).  You can't even try to improve yourself when you're a paycheck away from starving and being homeless.[/quote]
