SleazZpat,
The burger flipper will make around $50 a day for his work, regardless of how much wealth he generates. His hard work is seldom rewarded and if so, by only a few pennies per hour.
What a crock.

Did the burger flipper actually create the hamburger meat?

Did the worker actually make the buns? How about the condiments?

Who paid for the grill? Who's paying for the electricity (or the gas) that is powering the grill?

Who paid for the tools that the worker uses to do the job?

And most importantly, who created the actual restaurant and whatever brand value is associated with it?

You're arguing that the burger flippers are collectively entitled to all of the profits generated by the business, but their labor only represents a fraction of the total value-add that is represented by said profits.

That represents a fundamental lack of understanding of basic economics. Unfortunately, your ignorance is prevalent among today's snowflake generation.
