> The people with the wealth pay people for one reason and one reason only: they have to.

Huh? In your worldview is charity just not a thing?



Not when it comes to payroll, it isn't. You think companies are gonna start cutting payroll checks for charity's sake? They ship jobs overseas to get cheaper workers and skirt environmental protections, what do you think they are going to do when they don't need 90% of them?


You started by talking about "wealthy people" and then switched to talking about companies and payroll. This is a motte and bailey argument: your reply is perfectly reasonable, while your original statement was definitely not.


Large companies that lobby congress are controlled wealthy people, are they not?
