What I don't get is... if people redicule workers not getting enough wages, then why do they not ridicule businesses when it's time for them to start paying up too? Isn't it the same consquences if someone decides to own a business as it is for a worker to not desire to own a business? These people CHOOSE (as Alex puts it) their actions - so, shouldn't both sides face a consequence of that action? "well, sorry, but you wanted to run a business -too bad". I never hear anyone say that.

Because the role of a biz is to make as much money as possible, not to employ as many people at as high a wage as possible. But businesses are forced to pay certain wages. People are not forced to take jobs. What if we required everyone who didnt have a job to take whatever job was available? That, to me, is the same as forcing businesses to pay something specific, with no thought to what the market bears.
