Paying Your Employees So Little That Most Of Them Are Poor?

Sure thing - glad to help.Quote from oldtime:
thank you for telling me what I should do. Your advice has been duly noted.
After that you can take your profits from that to open payday loan businesses that charge nominal interest rates rather than the ridiculous interest rates that the current payday lenders charge and also open up furniture rental stores that charge much lower prices to rent furniture to poor people plus offer reasonable to rent-to-own options so they don't get stuck renting forever.
Since you will be undercutting everyone else I'm sure you will get tons of customers and your profits will be enormous.
Better get on that soon before someone else steals this idea and does it first.
the rich are a dwindling demographic. Some say they are down to just 1%. Like the Man said, "The poor will always be with you." The problem with your Idea #1 is, if you give the poor a break, they will not be poor anymore, and you lose all your customers. There's a lot of money in poverty, but you got to keep em that way.Quote from GTS:

You're missing the issue...
(1) There are WAAAAYYYY too many people on the planet so that there isn't a "well-paying" job for all of them. In fact, there are so many people in the workplace, that there may not be even "minimum-wage jobs enough" for all.
(2) A "gazillion unskilled people looking for work".... how can there be higher wages when the supply of labor far exceeds the demand?
This all an "unintended consequence" of outsourcing... bringing "300-500 million subsistence-peasants" into the world-wide manufacturing/service workforce.. to make cheap products for the West.
Low wages are "the way of the world"... lower standard of living.
Bingo! The NWO has that right there is more supply than demand.
No need to worry about that, the poor have so many other disadvantages that keep them from getting ahead that no matter how many breaks you give them they will always be poor.Quote from oldtime:

Its not their fault, the man is always keeping them down.
A poor girls mother died and left her $8,000. She knew I was a broker so she asked me for advice. She couldn't decide if she should remodel her kitchen or buy a Chevy Blazer. I suggested she invest it. She asked how much she could make, and I told her for starters about $600 a year and then it would grow. She said, "$600? I can make more than that working at the restaurant!"Quote from GTS:

Is she good looking? I would tell her to get the Chevy Blazer, and then I would date her, and let her drive me around and save my own gas money for my personal investments.... Total win-win situation: she gets an SUV and a boyfriend to get over the death of her mom, and I get sex, a free ride (when she isn't waitressing, she will probably let me borrow the Blazer), and an increase in my personal resources.
Walmart, Starbucks and McDonalds don't make people poor because of thier business model or thier pay structure.
Actually, they provide jobs for the least employable; they provide work for the unemployed poor and unskilled. In fairness all these firms have management positions once a worker learns some skills that can provide an income that would pull them out of poverty. The entry level jobs in these businessess are opportunities for the young, down and out, intellectually handicapped, self medicated, and otherwise unemployable to have a structure and learn something about work that they can build on. A lot of diswashers would otherwise be sitting in the street under a scaffold. Which do you think is better?

nah, she was married with a couple of kids, and she bought the Blazer and a few years later it was up on blocks in her front yard right next to the car she owned when she inherited the money, and she wasn't a waitress, just worked prep on the dayshift.Quote from Mayhem:

Well, at least she gets to look at that rusting Blazer everyday before she catches a ride to Ruby Tuesdays to fluff the lettuce at the salad bar and make sure there are enough tongs for the crouton bowl.
Mother nature works that way... a small fraction of baby bluefin tuna make it to 1000 lbs, most of the tuna serve as fodder for other organisms in the food chain. You can call the baby tuna that get eaten "poor", but I like to think of them as happy-go-lucky tuna that would buy Chevy Blazers if they were human.
