"I know it's a novel idea to pay the little guy that actually creates the product a measly living wage,"

The little guy doesn't "create" the product. He's offered an opportunity to make a product at a wage that wiil produce a profit for the company. When his demands for wages limits the Corporation from making a profit they can either close or find other ways to produce their product at a profit.

Alot of those greedy shareholders that demand this are former employees who want to make sure their 401k stays in the black.

Your class warfare with CEO pay is simplistic and foolish.

While I do agree that some CEO's are paid more than they are worth,it's ridiculous to think that their pay is the reason for sending jobs overseas. I don't agree that anyone in this country has a right to a job with a living wage. Someone w/o even a high school diploma has no right to demand 50k a year to turn a screwdriver in a car assembly plant.

Hmmm...so let me get this straight; Without skilled, ingenious US blue-collar workers the US Corporations would have grown just fine.

Well hell, they should have started out in Mexico or China to begin with!

I'm sure that wouldn't have made any difference at all to US consumers 50 years ago, would it?

Ok, I get it, someone w/o a high school diploma is not entitled to learn a living, get married and raise a family. Thanks for clearing that up for me. And good luck on selling your elitist agenda to the many millions of hard working people that for one reason or another do not meet your qualifications for having a life.
