Reply #36: I opted to work for a small business

[DaveJ]

A family owned business since the 20s. Yeah the owners are all rich from birth, their kids all have trust funds and will just automatically become the bosses later, but nevertheless I doubt they could afford to pay all of us a good comfortable wage and keep the business afloat.

Same hold for executives. Even though their salaries are obscene and undeserved, they could not make up for the amount of money that their millions of employees need to be comfortable.

The only way to get the economy straightened out is getting housing costs lowered by at least half, and putting more laws in place with regard to minimum wage and workers rights.

Something like that would create an even playing field so businesses can go on as normal without being put out of the market by being kind to their workers.
