Employee: I've finished the labor required to meet the businesses needs. May I have a wage that will allow me to afford to meet my own needs?
Employers: Your job requires no skill! Your labor isn't worth a wage that high!
Employee: You're literally shoveling what my labor is worth into an envelope labeled New Yacht right now. I'm just asking for enough to not be in poverty while I give you my labor for the majority of my able-bodied life.
Employers: How dare you! This is my money! I earned it because I took a risk with money that I also did not labor to earn myself!
