Why is it SO OBVIOUS to us that increasing worker salary increases consumer spending which in turn increases business profits? I'm sure millions of people would love to be able to buy something frivolous every once in a while without having to worry about which bill will have to go unpaid that month.
Why do these business owners/CEOs/politicians continue to argue for high profits AND high personal salary while completely ignoring the fact that their consumer base struggles with affording the basic cost of living and does not have extra money to spend? What kool-aid are they drinking that allows them to just act like this isn't a very obvious problem with an equally obvious solution?
