I'm confused.
If you are talking to me...
Then I'll need you to take particular bits out of my posts and tell me where your quarrel lies.
Because I'm not sure where this is coming from.> IT's no different when making generalizations about the RICH about Americans, about business owners, you cannot KNOW..
What generalisation is worrying you?
> and why the H*ll is it the U.S businesses here being attacked?
I never meant to 'attack' the businesses.
I was trying to talk about the laws / government policy that preserves the status quo of a radical inbalance in the distribution of wealth...
And where some of those people have the wealth that they have via business profits then business might just have a little something to do with it...> The only way this type of *argument* could have any credibility if every small business in every country every where was evaluated and then perhaps some sort of comparison could be made.
?
What type of argument?> Though I'd guess the amount of small business owners who mistreat employees and those who take advantage would come up pretty much even.
Oh.
Did you think I was having a rant on how small business owners mistreat their employees?
No, Gabbi. That was not a point that I was trying to make.
Minimum wage.
Does the business set the minimum wage or does the government?
I would have thought... The big business owners would be more likely to mistreat their employees.
But then... What do you mean by mistreatment?
Where is this coming from?> And another thing that completely galls me is that these sweeping generalizations are done under the guise of desiring fairness and equality.
What sweeping generalisations?
> I don't see any consistancy here at all.
> All I see is something that seems far more personal than political.I'm sorry that is what you see.
But I don't understand where this is coming from...
