You're the one who said that the reason the "job creators" don't do the work themselves is because then there wouldn't be jobs for others. That is not the reason. Like I said, they don't hire people just to be nice. The reason they don't do those jobs themselves is because they can't. They need the workers

So the **** what if he was paid for services rendered? Is that supposed to mean he's not deserving of decent respect? You righties seem to have no problem giving the "job creators" a whole lot of respect, more like worship really. Were they not also compensated for whatever it is they do? In many cases in the tens and sometimes hundreds of millions of dollars.

Next time you think workers are unimportant try shopping at the grocery store where they only hire "job creators" and not those pesky workers. They'll of course have to pay the salaries so be ready to pay about $1,500 for a half gallon of milk

You can't look at the millions of people struggling out there and say that they all did it to themselves. Not everyone who's behind supports immigration and overpopulation.

If you can't do that, you are just a hypocrites who like to spend other people's money.
that's a fairly dumb post.

paying double in a restaurant or for a service will only help the owners.

why not come up with something logical other than just dull, right wing chatter.

start at primary school.

We encourage the respect of unity and work for work's sake.

We encourage people to be proud of their communities and psychologically enhance the value of all trades and professions.

Hollywood is about as rightist as anything else - it's all about massive pay checks and mansions.

socially liberal in some ways, yes, but hardly socialist by any stretch of the imagination.

Joe McCarthy warned us about a massive communist infiltration into all American institutions and it turns out he was right. Doesn't stop the leftist perverts from making fun of him as a paranoid delusional.
how exactly do you equate leftist with pervert anyway?

and McCarthy - the guy was an imbecile!

Maybe it's because without good actors and song writers and performers, there would not be a job for the roadie or cameraman?
Without roadies or a cameraman and the literal fleet employees necessitated you wouldn't see any good actors or performers. There is definitely merit in your point. And for what it's worth I have never really agreed that everyone should be paid exactly the same amount. But I do think that the disparity between pay grades could be lessened. If a company needs an employee they should pay him enough to live on. They don't need to give a roofer a swimming pool full of gold bullion but if you prefer your houses with a roof the guy that does it should be able to afford a decent home, car, diet etc. I think that everyone can agree that there can be too much of a good thing. It's not like I think all the combined wealth should be divvied up in exact amounts. But if the wealthiest few put as little as 5% back into the people that got them all that money that would be a sizable income boost for the working class.
