[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1001008, member: 24302"] You assume all Republicans are like our FedEx leadership. What you aren't seeing is that pretty much everywhere Democrats are in power too much is spent pleasing various constituencies and eventually getting the gov't in hot water. Same goes for unions constantly pushing for more to the point companies seek alternatives. There has to be a balance between spending and responsibility. What I'd like to see is what is common in other countries: CEO's and other execs making 15 to 50 times their average employees total compensation. They'd still do very well and their employees tend to do better too. Our dog-eat-dog culture places too much emphasis on making it big financially, and you really aren't anyone important until you do. Of course not everyone sees it that way, but our popular culture places too much emphasis on money. I don't believe, as communists do, in forcing everyone to do this or that. People should be free to innovate, to start their own businesses, to grow wealthy over time. But those in power should do everything reasonable to help their employees who help them succeed. It's the right thing, the decent thing to do. Going out of your way to hurt others financially to improve your bank account is morally wrong, and doing it on a mass scale is the economic equivalent of herding large groups of people into concentration camps. Be careful in your quasi admiration of communists. They herded people into concentration camps too. And remember that jobs don't exist in a vacuum. Someone must start a company, risk his money, work very long hours to make it grow, and add employees as it grows. He's earned the right to do well, and is providing jobs for others. He shouldn't exploit you, but it's not his responsibility to pay you so much so that you can have all you ever wanted. It's not a perfect system, but it works as long employers recognize people don't just exist to serve them. The balance between spending and responsibility. [/QUOTE]
