So any one that owns and operates his own buisness is a fat cat CEO?  Im
sorry but if i owned either a small or large company manufacturing x and
buisness is going along swimmingly then  why do i have to pay my workers
more?  Cause im making money?  As Dave pointed out are they going to be just
as willing to take a pay cut when things get shitty?  I would pay my
employess the market value based upon their skill set.  Id be an idiot to
pay them more then my competitors are willing to.  Not all companies are
evil mongering money grubbers.  You forget that this country is driven by
smaller buisness's as well, many of whom are family run and operated.  They
cant afford to take the losses that big boys do, or get caught doing their
buisness in an unethical manner.  The big boys can just pay fines, its a
cost of doing business.

Where did i imply this?  I dont support the stealing of honest's peoples
money.

""""I think we can all put down the antiquated, nieve notion that large
corporations have any employee's best interests at heart.  That wasn't
even true when people believed it.""""


I think were talking about two different things here.  I was just commening
on the fact that a worker shouldnt expect to make more money then what the
market predicates.  Why should i earn $20.00 more an hour then im worth just
because im an a union for example?  That to me is dishonest as well.
