1% or Scoialism?

       Ya know, back about forty years or so a company's owner could expect to earn somewhere near thirty five times what his employees earned. They felt they deserved it and maybe they did. But now-a-days heads of corporations aren't satisfied unless they're making 300, 400, 500 times what their employees make and they're convinced they're entitled to make that much. And if it means those employees have to take a cut in pay or get bypassed on pay raises, then so be it.
       These are the folks that are screaming about $15 an hour minimum wage being too high. Now why do you suppose they hate that idea? Could it be that they fear they may have to take a little less? But they're making way more than they can spend as it is.
       It's not about socialism. They're not worried about socialism, they're worried they'll have to work for a little less than they've become accustomed to. Oh, they point to anyone who poses the idea that everyone should earn a living wage and claim that person is a socialist. But what's really got their goat is having to work for a little less. You know, like instead of the 10 million or 100 million they might have to work for 9,990,000 or, well you get the idea.
       The thing is, most, if not all, 1%ers have more money than they'll ever need. So what's wrong with sharing a little bit of it with Americans who are struggling? I'm not suggesting that they have to give it all back to the people. Just not take quite so much from now on. I suppose that if I had more money than the All Mighty, maybe Id be a little reluctant to give some back, but I hope I wouldn't be like that.
       So the next time you hear somebody say that $15 an hour is socialism, take a look at that person. He's either a member of the 1% club or he's been brainwashed by one. Because everybody deserves to earn enough to live on.
