Well, restaurants run on very thin margins. I've known a number of restaurateurs and none of them are in the super rich arena.
Owning and running a restaurant is a tough business.

But you said " If his workers made more" How can that happen with a thin margin?

The super rich are not running mom and pop restaurants but multi-national corporations or banking and investment firms. Regardless it is not the super rich salaries and bonuses that create jobs, it is the needs of the corporation and salaries come from the corporations. Of course, maybe the super rich should forgo the huge bonuses and invest more in the corporations and in their employees.

So how much are the corporations currently investing- and how much more should they be investing?

and I contend that the rich,personal funds, do create jobs. By major renovations to their homes - by buying and maintaining personal vehicles, by taking luxury vacations and ect...... thousands of jobs are created every year.

You are highlighting the wealthy's "salary and bonuses" for "job" creation, saying it is moot.

How do you know? How do you know, men have not USED their own "salary", saved it, invested it, then used those funds to create a business, then provided jobs?

And the point being, WHY is ANYONE "elses" earnings, income, salary, wage, bonus, compensation....
ANY concern whatsoever of YOURS?

IF "YOU" are not PAYING them, How is that ANY of your business?

And IF "YOU" are PAYING them, How is that ANY my business that YOU have a complaint of what YOU do?

And adding the bottom line ... IF it ain't "his" corporation, how does he presume he has ANY say in HOW the corporation operates?

Invest MORE in the corporations? Be specific....HOW SO, "more" according to you?

Good point - Now as CEO, he has a lot of say- but it is up to board of directors to make the final decision.

AMEN, AMEN, and AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I NEVER cease to be amazed at the liberal's penchant for feeling it is their decision how other's spend their income, be it little or much.
Nobody is to interfere in their (libs) choices, but they want to dictate your everyday movements AND thoughts!!!
One thing I am extremely sure of (IMHO of course:Whistling) is that when(?) God decides to lower the hammer on this nation, then you will see another Dim complete control just like the last administration. A sure-fire combination for the nations demise!:Sleep

Sure. But do rich people hold back on these purchases until they get a 4.6% tax cut or do they do it whenever they feel like it?

Correct ~ And the how much say, is already decided contractually, to which the CEO and Board "agreed" prior.

Point being to crab- If he isn't the one who formed the corporation or CEO or sitting board member -
he has no dog in that hunt. He has no INVESTED interest, financially or contractual agreement to adhere to....anything ~ thus not his business.

Now IF he elects to purchase available "shares" of stock, he does have an interest, but does not have the authorized power to supersede what has been contractually devised and agree to among the CEO and Board.

IF he elects to purchase their products or use their services, dependent upon what the corporation offers....that is his business to dig in his pockets and pay the fees required or not.

But NOT his business to dictate what ANY corporation or business should or shouldn't do, in which he has NO vested interest in.
And NOT his business to dictate what ANY one or business should or shouldn't do with THEIR OWN funds, in which he has NO vested interest in.

And IF he has NO "vested" interest whatsoever ~ his criticism simply becomes, la la la la la, nonsense blowing in the wind.

Precisely! A liberal's point of view...ugh. A liberal claiming to be Christian....perplexing despite Scriptural teaching.

Agreeing IS the worthiness of ones own WORD.
Scripture teaches about the worthiness of an AGREEMENT and ones WORD of Agreement ~

The Liberal view is teaching in opposition to Scripture, that to AGREE by ones WORD is without WORTHINESS and SHOULD BE presumed "changeable" according to their WHIM. Totally perverse to what Scripture teaches.

(Sad thing is, they apply the same ideology to Constitutional Limitations, which is Lawfully ONLY to be changed by AMENDMENTS, but regularly is UNLAWFULLY (under the color of law) "changed" by dishonorable men, sitting in honorable seats) phooey ~ spit, I say to that.)


Matt.20
  1. [2] And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
  2. [9] And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
  3. [10] But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
  4. [13] But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
