But in your fantasy, the 'idiot' and the CEO would be equally compensated.

We have enough idiots in management as it is. Don't encourage more.
Who said anything about paying the person flipping burgers the same wage as the person, who took the financial risk, who created the company? So many of these companies can do better by the employees and not put the tax payer in the position of paying their workers. You all must be atheists or don't believe your bibles. Greed......7 deadly?

I don't care what someone in Mensa thinks. I don't care what Elon Musk thinks. I don't care what you think. I don't care what 99.9% of the 7 billion people on this planet think.

Livin' a life that's better than we ever asked for because we didn't start jobs that any idiot off the street could do and then spend the rest of our lives doing those same jobs. Not my problem if your mileage has varied.
Maybe to the Idiots working at walmart is more than he could ask for. Of Course its not your problem. Just make sure you tell Jesus that at the pearly gates :happy:

Now we have another guy playing the god card. Let's hear your statement of faith, then I'll take you seriously and talk. You may well be surprised where we may have agreement.

I don't know what you're trying to accomplish by attempting to make this a religious issue, but it's not working.

You're advocating Socialism, which compensates the worker based solely on the criteria of need, and that need is defined by those Socialists in power. Therefore, the burger flipper would be compensated equally to the CEO if their need was denoted as equal.
Because of human nature, this results in a race to the bottom, which makes the world a worse place for everyone.
Open your eyes and you can readily see that taking place now.
Is this what you really want???

You don't have to take me seriously. You're the one that will have to answer.

Having the Tax payers pay for billion dollar corporations employees in the form of welfare is also Socialism. Maybe you open your eyes and realize corporations are making insane amounts of profits. They don't need the average American paying their employees.

I can't care less. But know that saying it's not working isn't going to make Jesus look away from you. I'm sure He and is Father see you very well. Greed and disdain for your fellow man.

Nobody said the scriptures said anything about flipping burgers but just remember Proverbs 14:31. Good luck to you and others with your way of thinking. :happy:

You make even less sense now.

If a person wants to make a better living, maybe he needs to take the necessary steps for that to happen. How bout getting a High School Diploma. How bout technical classes. How bout any kind of training that will increase his income. Working at Burger King and complaining that you want $15 an hr to give customers crappy service isn't gonna help you earn a better living.

I don’t think the guy who uses Bible quotes in these discussions would understand.
Probably not, but I was addressing your post.
It is not what the job is worth, it is what the job is worth in a current labor market.
We most likely don't disagree in real terms, but I do assume you you understand where my argument was heading.
