    You're arguing that if workers get $4 more so that they get $10, then business owners deserve $4 to get $19. That's not how this works.

    Yeah, that's not how that works, but that is how being objective would work. If everyone deserves more because they're human beings, then they all deserve equally more (regardless of whether they're the employer or the employed)

    No, you are completely ignoring my point. Everyone does not deserve MORE, everyone deserves a BASELINE. We don't get more money until everyone's basic needs are met. When everyone's cup is full, then you can start buying more cups. The employers' cups are full right now and the employees' are not.

    If everyone gets more at a flat, lump sum, it does nothing to change the inequality.

      I think I'll just go ahead and remove Snapzu and Hubski from my Firefox now.
