The majority of people share the same attitude of " I like me best" There is no "I" in the word team. As a team we can accomplish greater things than we can as individuals.
Unfortunately, that philosophy doesn't go over well in a society that promotes competition as the norm. Especially when the winners see themselves as the only reason for their success. Regardless of how many people assist them in the achievement, they still see themselves in their own light. This leads to greed and greed leads to suffering and taking advantage of the less fortunate.

I agree that the fast food workers as well as many other professions aren't paid a living wage. The winners see their work forces as beggers and slaves. Useful only to pad their wallets.

I've worked many a minimum wage job in my life and watched the owners reap all the benefits to the point of flaunting it and then acting like they did me a huge favor by hiring me and paying me next to nothing in comparison to what they took to the bank.
The government doesn't treat a person much better when they get their 23% out of your meager pay check every week.
If I owned a company, I would pay my staff, including myself, a living wage so we could be successful through the long term.


No, you're not a Pinko for raging against the self serving greedy people who ski down their noses at their employees by paying them the government mandated minimum wage.
