Itsme - 2014-01-11 12:27 PM I wish wealthy business owners would pay better wages to their employees, although I dont think it should be mandated. I have a cousin that owns a successful business and will retire with lots of land and millions in the bank and he still pays his employes a great living wage. His secretaries are high school graduates and he pays for them to take college courses with an hourly pay in the $22-$25 range and his drivers make $60-$80k a year and everyone is happy pumping money into the system.
