Is that fair? If a company needs to help the bottom line, have they cut back CEO wages or is it the bottom eschelon of workers that get cut back? Do shareholders ever take a hit to make sure the workers are getting good wages? Typically only when unions are involved and they are forced to. If unions didn't exist, exploitation of workers would be far worse than it already is.[/b]

Do you know why CEO`s make more money that the average worker? Have you ever heard of supply and demand? How many people can work as CEO`s of big companies? Not too many. How many people can work as a kitchen hand? Virtually everyone can. Therefore if you have a large supply of low skilled labor, the wages are going to be driven down. Also take productivity into account and you will quickly see why are some people making less money than others.

You obviously need to look at some actual case studies in the real world. Your "theories" don't amount to much when reality is proving them nonsensical all the time.[/quote]
You have proven nothing. You have put forward your ideals of egalitarian society.

You think taking jobs away from North Americans and then giving the same job to a person in the 3rd world country for wages that they can barely live on working 12 hours a day is not exploitation? How on earth could you believe that? Enlighten us, please.[/quote]
Taking away jobs? What on earth does that mean? You have a job because your employers is employing you. If he decides that some guy in a 3rd world county will do your job better/cheaper, is he taking your job away? Are you for real? You need two parties to dance. If one party decides to take its business elsewhere, they are not taking anything away from you. If I used to purchase Coke and then switched to Pepsi, did I take anything away from Coke? Was Coke entitled to my money no matter if I change my preferences? Are you entitled to your job even if your employer changes his preferences? What would you prefer? Would you prefer your employer to be forced to keep you employed? How is that different from being forced to work for someone, ie from being a slave?
FDW, you make it sound like I am not living in reality, but honestly…its you who has dreamed up a fairly tale egalitarian world.
