It was directed to someone calling a 65% CUT in wages a raise simply because it is more than some other people make.

Again, I just don't like the intra-class warfare that can sometimes erupt on DU. After all, our economic enemy is not the person making $30,000 or even $100,000- it's the CEO, board of directors and others who drive earned income down while increasing its tax rates and decreasing the tax burdens on unearned income.

Whether the minimum wage should be increased (of course) is wholly irrelevant to whether this particular group of workers is getting screwed by a company driven into bankruptcy by bad decisions- and the people who made those bad decisions come out smelling like a rose.
