Ah, but the business owners vacation in Paris, while the empoyees get a weekend at the shore. If they're lucky.

There is a broad spectrum of qualifications and productivity, employers can get plenty of workers worth, say, $5-$6-$7 per hour and don't need to dip to the $3/hr level of worker.
It doesn't matter if it's a $3 BILLION Dollar employer.

A skill's value doesn't change.

Oh,

And?

We should all strive to be employers, not employees then, shouldn't we?

The difference is, very few people actually have the skills to be an employer.

Seems to me all your problems are related to the existence of government.Well the government aint going away and will probably continue to grow no matter which party rules.
So to find peace in your life you might want to read up on the story of
Dick Proenneke
Alone in the Wilderness, the story of Dick Proenneke, by Bob Swerer Productions

Then when you've had enough of paying for the upkeep of half the country make a pilgrimage about a thousand miles north of the Canadian border and set up shop in a place where you'll probably never see another human let alone have your taxes pay for the upkeep of your so called recipient class.
A place where you can fully exploit the term Alphamale.

If WalMart had 5 employees the owner would at best be middle class not a millionaire.
The problem with this scenario is there are many more folks capable of being employees than there are capable of being employers.

Walk of the job and I can replace you in a matter of days- you however, now have a significant blemish on your work history that might severely effect your ability to find new employment.................

a very sizeable number of people inherit business or capital , not everyone has the wealth to create employment , i find this idea that that workers should flagelate themselves before employers and be glad of the crumbs that fall from thier masters table , medievil

ive said it before , one of the things that makes america so different is how the coping class always seem so eager to take one in the gut for the super wealthy , anyone who votes republican who is earning under 50 k per year is voting against thier own interests IMO

I am not debating that the employer is more important to the business then the employee but to say the employee do nothing and do not contribute to profit is just stupid.
