If we do not pay our people a decent wage they simply do not have enough money to buy, and when people stop buying the whole economy suffers. One of the reasons people work is so they can buy nice things for themselves and their families. After a long hard day it is nice to relax and enjoy the things you have worked so hard to obtain. But how many of us have the money, time, or strength left to live the way we want to. People making less money pay less taxes.
People making no money pay no taxes, and have to be supported.
The very rich pay little or no taxes. The corporate heads of America are strangling themselves and all of us, and our government is helping them to do it. And it may already be too late. Dave Kaspersin and his wife Jackie are the owners of Dynamic Recording in Rochester, a place that prides itself on being on the cutting edge of technology, and who have just launched two new businesses on the World Wide Web even though he is 53 now and totally out of touch with what is going on in the world, and cannot adapt to change. He is also a consultant for ABB Corporation, who hired him because of his technical skills shortly after he left his job of 26 years with Rochester Gas and Electric.
