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.

You're going to outsource answering the phone, responding to e-mails, and stuffing envelopes to Asia? How about the people who clean your office -- will you outsource those jobs to Asia too? And the people who mow and blow your lawn -- also outsourced to Asia?

This doesn't even get into the question of how many more people would buy [whatever-ever-it-is you sell] if they had more money. Henry Ford figured this out 100 years ago, and he actually did start his own company.[/quote]
