I notice you completly ignore my questions, but I'm of generous spirit and will ignore that oversight and answer yours.

I did not say an employee should not recieve a portion of the profits his efforts earned - on the contrary, I said he should be paid as a function of the value he generates.

WELL IT SEEMS THAT THE PORTION OF THE WORKERS VALUE HAS GONE DOWN

SORRY FOR THE CAPS BUT IT WILL BE EASIER TO KEEP THINGS IN SOME SORT OF ORDER

You comment about the value of pay over the last few decades is clearly wrong by the simple expedient of empiracal observation. Over the last few decades we've had an explosion of casino's - we've seen the introduction of cell phones migrating to smart phones, we've seen an exploxion of restaurants, both fast food and sit down, hell, we've even seen a whole new industry - fingernail services. Do you really think all these things are consumed only by the 1%?

THAT THE AVERAGE WAGE ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION OVER THE 40 YEARS HAS RESULTED A MUCH SMALL ER GAIN
FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON THAN THE RICHER PERSON.
SOME GIVE NUMBERS LIKE 30% & MORE GAIN FOR THE RICH
& 1 OT 2% FOR THE AVERAGE WORKER.

I've said nothing like the value of the average person has no use in the system - and if you improve your reading comprehension and critical thinking sk**ls you'll discover I said the exact opposite.

IN THE FACE OF REDUCED VALUE OF WAGES PAID I OFFER THAT IT IS YOUR FEELING THAT THE VALUE OF THE WORKERS EFFORT HAS DECREASED.

I am not a business owner - never have been a business owner - the assumption that I am shows an intellectual bias that renders one nearly irrational - and as a man who has worked now for well over 50 years I understand that people need to buy for any business to operate, but those who buy with free money distort the economy more than help it.

USING THE TERM YOU AS A BUSINESS OWNER WAS MEANT AS A BUSINESS OWN IN GENERAL. SORRY THAT WASN'T PUT QUITE RIGHT.

Now for your "big" question - I would support those programs that incentivize people to improve themselves and penalize those who do not - thereby making the world better for both sets of people.

I realize this will be most difficult for you, but try anyway. Knock off the stupid act!! The hyperbole, especially exceedingly hyperbole, just won't cut it in deflecting from the fact that businesses and individuals are EXCESSIVELY INTERFERED WITH BY OUR GOVERNMENT AND THAT IS ONE BIG REASON FOR THE MASSIVE JOB LOSSES. ANOTHER REASON IS THAT NO ONE CAN PLACE ANY CONFIDENCE IN ANYTHING THIS "PRESIDENT" SAYS OR DOES. Who in his right mind will bank on investing millions of dollars in a business he KNOWS has a good chance of being destroyed by the economy that no one can rely on? Or by excessive EPA regulations put out by people who don't know a job from a grain of sand and could not possibly care less?

If the citizens in this country don't wise up pretty soon, we will all be toast. If I make toast of my own life, that is one thing. If I make toast of everyone's life, that is nation k*****g. Just once, please think for yourself.

I believe that, in that comment, Nancy Pelosi may have told the t***h for the first time in her rotten little life. I am a strong conservative and I don't even believe a federal government that mucks in private business, private citizens, is a good thing. A federal government should oversee the NATION as a nation, NOT individuals, NOT groups, NOT mores, NOT celebrations, NOT individual healthcare, NOT insurance. NOT toilet capacity. It should tend to foreign affairs, the military, the infrastructure. And that should be the end of its authority - as it once was. The bigger the nation becomes, the more necessary it is to get the feds out of individuals' business. In micromanaging everyone's life, they are neglecting and mismanaging the nation's business which is their primary and only constitutional focus. Their mismanagement has broken the back of America's economy. What more proof do people need that big government is inherently BAD? Or is the left unable to see what is in front of their faces?
