Answer: They can't of course. They don't have what it takes to do that kind of thing. All they want is a nice paycheck and tons of benefits with no risk of losing their ass.

Exactly. It's not the worker's credit on the line, their cash, life savings, or balls in the vice to start the company and get it to the point of becoming successful. They are the one's who took all of the risk, and captained the ship into financial wealth or profitability. Did the workers help? Sure. They were compensated with a pay check.
Additionally, most "workers" do not bother to see the TRUE COST of their employment. It is not in their McJob paycheck. But we'll play along in shadowboxing game.
Let's say a worker makes $500.00 a week. They get full health benefits. Depending on their age, that is another $100-300.00/month for them. Include their family, now we're up to $500.00+ provided by the employer as a value add benefit. Let's add in a few weeks of paid vacation and sick time. That's another grand a year based on two weeks of paid leave. How about that Xmas bonus? Oh and let's not forget matching taxes, disability, unemployment and all of the other fees that an employer has to pay or match for each person and pay to the state or federal government.
Once you get done adding all of that up, you see the
TRUE COST to an employer is much higher than their messily paychecks the worker bees earn at their McJob manning the fry-o-lator.
