@phranny saidYou'll have ti defiine'should be able' and 'deserve to earn'. To use those terms implies that someone or something has a debt to that person, to make everything right for them. This is serious liberalism, at its best. Everyone in this country is 'able' to earn, I would go so far as to say they 'shoul' be able, but quite a stretch to say they deserve, thus, they are owed such and such. Not necessarily. If they are washing dishes, their pay is probably not enough for a pure living wage, covering everything you set out.
A company needs one CEO and workers. The bigger the company, the more workers. Those workers should be able to earn a living wage. Many people are not interested in becoming super rich. They want to be teachers, nurses, retail workers, food service workers, police officers, factory workers, white collar office workers and the list goes on. They deserve to earn enough from the ...[text shortened]... od, health care, transportation and savings for their children's education and their own retirement.
So, what about the guy who washes dishes. Truly, just what does he 'deserve' to get him comforotable, and from whom?
