American Workers Make Too Much Money

[Trajan]

3. So short sighted ....

It was the middle classes that helped make corporations rich .... Most of these businesses would NOT have even existed without working people, making a decent wage, making purchases exceeding their most basic needs, buying homes and durable goods to fill them. Many would have never even started without knowing the extra income was available in the marketplace to buy their goods and services ....

I personally don't have a problem with the rich being rich, per se .... If you work hard for something. and you gain well from that effort, you deserve it ..... The problem I have with 'income disparity' is not that the rich at the top are getting richer, but that the workers at the bottom and middle are NOT being paid for the value and wealth THEY contribute to the overall bottom line ...

CEO's arent getting paid too much - Workers are being paid too little ...

The wages paid working families in the lower and middle classes are the 'stimulus' that keeps the economy humming for everyone ...

Unfortunately, the rich have gotten so greedy they are willing to cut themselves off at the knees in order to minimize worker pay, and it is a detriment to the overall economy, and to their own bottom line, when they do so ....

Chinese workers making slave wages will not be buying enough American goods to make the rich any wealthier ... Indeed; it will cause most businesses to fail ...
