...you sped right past my point. I said his hypothetical (that being the key word, because this would never happen without someone pointing a gun a Joe Americanbusinessowner's head) was that everyone raised the wages at the same time, be it in small increments (wiser) or all at once (hello 2nd depression). It no longer becomes an issue of competition.

And besides this whole idea is based on giving up most of your excess, not more than what you have to give. It's about trickle up (if that were possible) instead of trickle down (what a load of horse shit that was). Of course, this is still in hypothetical (even parenthetical... (I gotta lay off these)), because you're right there ARE companies with very small profit margins, and their employees would suffer because they can't afford a big pay hike.

Which is why ((I)) support socialism!!
