    That isn’t the argument. The argument is that they should be paid a living wage, not that they should be paid more than anybody else.

        They are negative contributors because they hoard money. Other people actually contribute to the economy by spending money.

        Oh, yeah, and every 10 years the markets crash because they’ve managed to repeal banking regulations or have accumulated too much risk to survive a significant downturn. Then the federal government bails them out?
