I don't see CEO's and other wealthy execs lowering their compensation in order to generate more sales; in fact, I see the opposite, and in spades. Methinks that increasing sales isn't everything! Perhaps the desire to receive high compensation and still attain high sales is what motivated a few American corporations to use slave labor during WWII.

>>>Well, if you succeed in proving that raising that the cost of something makes people want to buy more of it, let me know. I'll notify the Nobel Committee, or as Thomas M. puts it, "the Fake Nobel Committee."<<< Yeah, I'd appreciate it. And when capitalism collapses due to a $1 raise in the minimum wage I'll give them a holler on your behalf as well. Hell, ain't the above happening with stocks? Aren't stocks "something." The cost keeps rising. People keep wanting to buy more... Damn, does that make me a nominee?
