It's one of those batshit negotiation situations. Say you want more electricity, well..would you be willing to give up some of your oxygen for it? Huh, would you?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
This is precisely why collective bargaining/unions came into being in the first place.
Perhaps someone should remind corporate CEOs that workers banding together to present formal grievances is the alternative that was worked out to curtail the time honoured practice of breaking down the factory owner's front door and beating him to death in front of his family. Boru

Some traditions are worth keeping.

That;s the disconnect. It doesn;t matter how much a person makes, when it comes to whether or not they need assistance. It matters how much their life costs.
We play with one as an imperfect brute force way to effect the other, but in truth...business doesn;t absorb that increase, it shuffles that off to consumers as a cost. Increasing wages will never have the effect we want without price controls. If we're not willing to engage in hard price controls..even if we do increase wages, we'll stioll have to offer assistance at whatever rate is necessary. It;s not some sliding negotiation where we can barter for one at the expense of the other. Regardless of all of the above...business will shift the cost of labor and -also- consume the subsidized benefits. /twocents.

Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
