Also, how do you account for people that pay zero taxes? Where is there bleep on the radar to even notice them?
Don't fucking talk to me about payroll taxes until you own a business. Seriously. Just shut your fucking mouth.Quote:

Really? I thought payroll taxes was the one that says 401k
I had no idea
If the number in this article is true, we seriously need to find a way to fix the tax code in such a way that it doesn't annihilate businesses. Holy. Shit. That's a lot of money.
It's actually a classist blanket statement. Try to be more accurate in your insults.Quote:

So "price gouge" the workers? Got it.Quote:
Supply and demand doesn't carry any "moral hazard."
The salary of Carly Fiorina. The salary and compensation of Rick Wagoner. Just find a story of a CEO of a mega company that loses shitloads of market share and money all the while knowing they're well taken care of for life and blue collar gonna take catch all the heat of the CEO's bad decisions and THEN to salt the wound labor will not only take the fall but take the blame from Yoshi types all over. So I repeat, white collar shitheads. Are ALL white collars shit heads you ask? No I say to ensure you have the full disclosure since you don't seem to be interested in filling in any holes on your own.Quote:
You, and most others in this thread, need to start being more specific about what "executives" you're talking about. That is a broad group that has salaries anywhere from $100k to $20+M. There's no way to pain them all with the same brush.
All the ideas of the CEO, CTO, COO, CIO, CFO et al. don't mean jack shit with ass busting workers actually producing the results.Quote:
No one should ever be rewarded for working hard. Everyone should be rewarded for producing results.
So CEOs are the only white collar professionals in Candy Land. Got it.Quote:

Union is not a synonym for blue collar, and CEO is not one for white collar.Quote:

So you're every bit as bad as the person saying that it's all labor's fault. You're a fool if you think a company of any size can succeed without contributions from both ends.Quote:

What percentage of these workers are operating under duress, would you say, as opposed to doing a job they enjoy?
Probably a pretty large percentage, regardless of pay grade.
