I am curious regarding how you apply the point you are making in your own life. If you go to a fancy restaurant, how much do you tip and why? When you go to a fast food restaurant (tip jar's they often have out, in the places that allow it), how much do you tip and why? When you get your hair cut, how much do you tip and why? Mailman? Mechanic? Are you paying some people "fairly" and "screwing" others? If so, why? In my life I pay what I think is fair, I pay prevailing amounts. I never pay based on what I personally earn. I expect corporations to act in a similar manner, do you?.
