Wonder why there is a minimum wage? Because without it many companies would pay you even less. The minimum wage used to be the gauge for a single family income to live (for a family of four). That's live, not barely survive as it is now. The wealthy should share their wealth, at least some of it, willingly. They use many resources that the average Joe paid for. They didn't build their empire by themselves.
