We need to get over it since trying to fix the injustice will probably do more harm than good.

Why not go back to the Eisenhower years? - tax like 1955 again.

You can't make a profit off the workers that way.

No, you just want the company to make a profit off any additional workers. That's why the company is in business; to make a profit.
​
This rubs me the wrong way - you shouldn't be making the profit OFF of your workers, you should be making the profit off of your customers.
​
The attitude should be more like making the profit WITH your workers.
​
An unconscious attitude change can make subtle differences in how the company is run.

Tangle posits:
​
If you pay your employees more than your competitor you either have to employ fewer people or raise your prices.
​
or maybe you could SELL MORE WIDGETS?

​
You don't need to pay your workers more to provide better service.
​
While this unfortunately still true, we can grow out of being a country run by assholes.
​
the majority will then go out and buy the cheapest

sad indeed. ADVERTISING WORKS - the single most egregious condemnation of homo sapiens.
