Interesting but I don't see a response to anything posted. Why is it that liberals complaining about what people make don't take the risk, invest their own money, start their own businesses, and hire people paying them the salaries that you and others claim are a liveable wages. the answer is quite easy, it is a lot easier whining and complaining about business that you know nothing about vs. actually having your own and practicing what you preach.
And before you claim anything, my parents EACH owned their own businesses and I worked for both of them (as did about fifteen other people at any given time). I know what it means. And I know that we were successful because we paid good workers a good wage for their work. As I improved my skills in my mother's catering business, she began paying me $10 / hour in high school (in the 80s). I would give up going out with friends to work for her because she gave me motivation. If she'd paid me minimum ($3.15 at the time), I would have worked as little as possible for her (I had another job at the time as well).
Obviously, some business owners don't understand that.
