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.

I understand that at the emotional level, liberals have a hard time with that simple fact, so I expected such an emotional response. Yes, employees are needed, but the great thing about it is that they are free to work where they want and to negotiate a compensation package to thier liking. Thats the great thing about the free market. And since we're quoting favorite Henry Ford quotes, I think you'll like this one:

There are two fools in this world. One is the millionaire who thinks that by hoarding money he can somehow accumulate real power, and the other is the penniless reformer who thinks that if only he can take the money from one class and give it to another, all the world's ills will be cured
