Are you sure you're replying to my comments? Because, if you would actually read my comments, you will discover they suggested the following: You pay whoever you believe to be qualified at least a living wage, not a starvation wage. Comment 1. Comment 2. Comment 3. You do this because if you don't, your employee will either fail or require public assistance which you will pay for anyhow with increased taxes. Comment 1. Comment 3. If you're too short-sighted to do this, poverty will increase to the point that civil disturbances are likely to arise and lawmakers will be forced to require you to pay a living wage no matter how funny you think paying a starvation wage is.
