Theres more to a corporation then just the rich people running it. Usually those rich people are salaried people and get bonuses depending on how much of a asset they are to a company. Ever wonder why a person makes $10/hour compared to $2,000,000+ a year? Well it deals with responsibilities, performance, and skills. Anyone ever hear of a factory line worker making $500,000 a year?
Then we have businesses, depending on where you want to place legal responsibility, one may opt for ownership or partnership or limited liability or a corporation. This all depends on the type of business to. Now its not just responsibility but also taxibility. Without the Bush tax cuts a company that makes $250,000 or more has to be taxed under the highest bracket. Not to mention if at year A you have $100 in the bank and $500,000 in inventory and the next year you have $100 in the bank and $1,000,000 in inventory. The government says you've made $500,000 and will be taxed about $200,000 that year. (Lean manufacturing helps this)
Then on top of that you have unions. Look how well they did with the auto industry, ever see a non union worker in the factories? Well lets say they run a monopoly at companies and will basically get people fired for not unionizing. I've heard about it many times and all the while you have idiots working that are protected by the unions, drinking on the job and sleeping on the job.
Of course with teachers its different, a state job is different from a private one. For one they don't work for a company where the goal is profit, now we keep paying the unionized teachers more and more and more. With teachers getting more and more money and our education gets poorer and poorer, is it worth paying more for less? Should schools be able to hire non-union teachers? These are questions that I think are important.
Now I'm not from Wisconsin so my voice isn't needed for their lawmakers.
