What are your questions based on, an actual operation?

The reason we have the minimum wage law, as well as several other employment laws and labor day, is because we found out what big business would do if left unchecked. They would prefer to make people work 16 hours a day and employ 8 year olds.

Quote:
You won't find many people making minimum wage in companies where the CEO is making $20 million or wages in that range.
Jim Skinner makes $13.4M, and received a $4M bonus for valiantly sitting in a chair for six months.
