But why should a private business be forced to pay that? I use to think that things like that would be good for the economy and people but I remember that all laws are forced at gun point by the state so the business owner would be FORCED at gun point basically to pay a worker(who may not deserve it) a "living wage" meaning extra cost on the business owner
Yet, this takes the notion of corporate greed out of the equation. So, businesses are not forced to pay a living wage, making good workers work ten times more for a living wage. To underestimate the notion of profit from the issue, why should good workers not be paid a living wage. This is exactly what business owners have done, increased profit, and underpaid the workers. This model can make all of us slaves, like third world countries so to speck, making less and fighting for survival.
The matrix, Capitalism is one person capitalizing on another persons labor. Ex. A service business pays its worker $12.00 but bills the client $30.00/hr., so it can pay a manager and make a profit. But who is doing the work, the worker, the business is making money off the worker, capitalizing off their labor. So, if your a freelancer you can pocket $30.00/hr instead. So, the issue, why should the business make this amount of profit? They are working for the business because the business has created a business with lots of clients, but the business is not doing the work, the people hired are. This is the matrix of capitalism. Freedom.
Who may not deserve it, is a hiring issue, hire people who deserve it. is my model.
