I have never in my life heard anything so pathetic, so desparateto win an argument. I had to shake my head and laugh. Someone else must have listened to Limbaugh yesterday also but agreed with him.

Unless it is a one man company, where the person does everything from produce the raw material to making, marketing and selling the product, employees are needed. Since employees are needed in 99.99% of all companies, I quote that famed union buster Henry Ford.

Quote:
A company must pay it's workers enough to buy the product it makes and let the employees have enough left to live on, in doing so that company will have a built in loyal customer base and always be able to sell its product.
