What about all the people that started at minimum wage, and worked their way up to making $10.75 today? They'd suddenly be minimum wage workers again. Do you think they'd stand for that? Would you? Of course not. They're going to demand a raise commensurate with the raise those below them just received.

So sayeth the person who's never run one...
Why should they care what other people make? Mind your own business and be happy that other people are doing well and stop being so jealous. Just because someone has not run a business does not mean they do not know how a business workers. Many economist have never run a business but you can bet they know how they run.
