People who have never run a business, successfully, have no business telling successful business people how much to pay their employees. They won't have to be there to explain why people were laid off, why the remaining employees now have to do not only what they did before but also that of the laid off employee, they won't have to listen to customers complain about the higher prices and poor service. And what about all the people that don't get that magic matching increase of income that the unskilled entry level position employee will get, what about the senior citizens that won't ? Who gives a shit about all the other people whose buying power is reduced because prices will have to increase to compensate for higher prices.............right?
