As Henry Ford understood it if the middle class has money they buy goods and the economy flourishes. All successful business models are a partnership between owners-managers-labor. If labor is treated fairly they tend to care about the quality of their work. Look at tvs manufactured in China, a friend who owns an electronics store told me only one in 3 doesn't have to be returned. That's pathetic.
How about the cost of shipping these things?
No there is nothing wrong with businesses treating their workers with dignity, nothing at all. Healthcare, pensions used to be the norm. People were loyal to their employers if their employers were loyal to them. it's a 2 way street. If the middle class has money, they don't hoard it or hide it to avoid taxes, they spend it. They make the wheels of the economy turn. The more prosperous the middle class, the better the economy.
Everyone wins. including owners and management.
As opposed to the failed ridiculous "trickle down" nonsense.
Where the very few profit tremendously and everyone else declines.-

Treating employees fairly is not part of capitalism Republican (or even Democrate) government want. Higher employee wages means lower profits. Capitalism do not need middle class. Unchallenged authority in making money is the ideal world. The rest of the people living in poverty should not be on the agenda.
