The big lie about the pay gap

The entire premise behind the lefts cries about inequality regarding the pay gap between the owner, and the worker is false.

The idea that the worker has a right to a percentage of the net profits of their employer is mindboggling.

Did the workers:

Abandon a steady paycheck to start a company?
Sacrifice personal capital and put their skin in the game?
Donate personal time and health to making sure the company succeeds?

When a business is breaking even, and the boss is working 80 hours a week and living in the back room in his office trying to make the company successful, are the employees willing to take a pay cut below minimum wage?

When a business owner fails, will his employees that are not out of a job, pay him/her unemployment?

A person’s labor is determined by their skill level; it’s based on supply and demand. If you are doing a menial task that anyone can do, but you are working for a business that someone created a model that profits large sums of money, your labor is still worth the same as if you were working for a company that is breaking even.

It defies logic that a janitor working for a start-up company should be paid minimum wage and the janitor for Amazon should be making $75 an hour to do the same job.

Just because someone can pay someone a higher salary, does not conclude they are obligated to, nor does it somehow mean that the workers should be entitled to it.

The profitability of a company, or the lack thereof, has no rational economic correlation to what workers should make unless the workers own the business.

Grassroots Revolt Against GOP Elitism

By Matthew Hayward In the complex arena of political strategy, even those who occupy the highest echelons of power can falter, demonstrating a profound disconnect between their strategic intentions and operational execution. The recent failure to secure the endorsement for their preferred candidate, Dave Reichert, is not merely a setback; it is a revealing exposé of the grave strategic missteps at the heart of the Republican party's establishment in Washington State. These seasoned campaigners, these stewards of conservative strategy, have evidently underestimated the critical importance of grassroots engagement. While I acknowledge the logic behind promoting an established politician strategically positioned geographically and perceived as moderate in our swing state—a strategy driven by considerations of electability, which admittedly has its merits—the incessant focus on this argument and complete lack of any meaningful engagement and education has alienated the grassroots yet a...

Could Today Be the Cheapest Price for Bitcoin Ever Again? Here’s Why

By: Matthew Hayward Current price Nov 10, 2024 76.72K 80.43K Is Now the Time to Buy Bitcoin? Bitcoin has come a long way since its early days as a niche digital asset. Today, as we enter another phase in its established four-year cycle , Bitcoin may be at a historic high, but it could soon become the new baseline price. This cycle, which has repeatedly shown Bitcoin’s resilience and long-term growth potential, suggests that the current price might be the lowest we’ll see again. While recent political shifts, including Donald Trump’s landslide election victory, have added new momentum and support for Bitcoin, the timing within the cycle itself makes this an ideal moment to consider buying. A Political Shift: From Anti-Crypto to Pro-Crypto For years, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have faced an uphill battle against a U.S. government determined to restrict and control their growth. This opposition was largely led by Gary Gensler, who waged an outright war against crypto from hi...

When the Census Goes Beyond the Constitution

By Matthew Hayward The Census: From Counting People to Collecting Control The Constitution established the census as a straightforward tool for representation—nothing more, nothing less. Article I, Section 2 mandates an enumeration every ten years to determine how many representatives each state is allotted. That’s it. Simple. Effective. Proportional representation was the goal, and the census was designed to achieve it. So how did we end up here—with government agents asking about the number of bathrooms in our homes, our ethnic identities, and everything in between? This is the creeping hand of central planning at work. What began as a tool to empower individual representation has been twisted into a mechanism to empower bureaucrats, planners, and those who believe they know better than free individuals how to run their own lives. Central Planning: The False Promise of Data The justification for prying into the most intimate details of our lives is always the same: “We need the ...
