There are huge corporations like Wal-Mart and McDonald's that make billions of dollars, and they barely pay their employees a little bit above minimum wage, if that. I just don't think it's fair that the workers bust their butt to try to make a living, when in actuality all they're doing is busting their butt to make someone else rich and they're doing all the work for the rich to get richer.
Not only that, but then the taxpayers end up having to pick up the tab when it comes to healthcare and food expenses because the workers are entitled to public programs to help them financially, when the employers should be paying them fairly.
Wouldn't you think the government would come up with a new law that would force the better pay? Just like with minimum wage, it's X amount of dollars per hour if you employ under 30 employees, and a little higher wage if you employ more people. I just think it's unfair to get paid so little when the employer makes plenty of money; what do you think?
