The Tax Laws in this country are set up in such a way that unless a businessman wants to pay the maximum tax rate he has to continue to grow, to invest and expand.
As a Businessman, if I start someone with a $25-$35 an hour salary, based on their qualifications, they better justify that salary I'm paying them by bringing in at least 3 times the amount of business per hour than what I'm paying them. The worker has no risk at all. If my business fails, he or she can just go out and get another job, whereas I'm in big trouble. I'm the one, as the businessman, who pays for all the supplies, equipment, heating oil and all expenses related to my business, including advertising, marketing, etc.
I'm only to happy to raise a person's salary based on how productive they are. But I don't run a business to give handouts. You gotta earn it and make my business grow. If a person thinks they are not getting compensated enough, let them start their own business and see how much time, energy, $$$, and planning is needed to be successful. |
