Trump's Big Mistake

You want to reap from the profit, but you wouldn't accept a pay cut during downturns or non profitable years.

I pay my employees what they are worth in the market, not by how much I am profiting from running my businesses.

Thats called being layed off

I'm not asking for democratic redistribution.

I'm asking the employers to start paying their employees a fair share in every industry.

How long do we have to look at record profits before you drones wake up and ask for your share?

Are you doing more as an employee to earn that extra profit or was that from decisions and risks taken by the higher ups? Why do you feel you should be Making more? Why don't you go to your boss and ask for a raise?

Where do they work outside of the us?

Most of western Europe

Yep, because you can't pay them less, but you still need to cut costs.

As I said, you can't expect to share profits if you are not ready to share the losses. My profits are up greatly over the past 2 years and while I pay my staff more, it is not in correlation to my percentage of growth in profit.

The effects of the tax bill are going to cause the markets to be bullish for the near future and likely through 2019. The new withholding rules from the IRS are going to be another shot in the arm. investment from repatriated funds and consumer spending are not going to show decline anytime in the near term.

Don't take this as a jab, it's not. Are you still thinking the markets will remain bullish for near future and through 2019? My guess is wage pressures and bond yields are going to push the market down.

He also uses too much crystal meth. He probably sucks ass at his job, which is why his pay will never increase. In fact, his employer is probably trying to figure out a way to get rid of him.

But his coworkers say he's a fun guy to work with and has a great sense of humor.

High risk high reward.
That's the thing about the guy taking all the risk to build and start a business, your stepping out of the safety zone. When things are good you better save for the lean times because there is no steady paycheck to count on. Tax laws make it difficult to save when someone finally has a good year, you get punished.

Buying more equipment is sometimes the only way to pay less taxes but it still catches up with you because of the system.
When owning a business in a industry that is doing well people envy you, when it's struggling they laugh. Grew up watching all this play out in the commercial fishing, construction and real-estate markets. The steady paycheck jobs were more stable, but hating routine
and being around people all my life that did they own thing, the risk was the only choice.

So what you're saying is the stocks are going to keep going up but my pay isn't?

Lol, when you say pay, did you mean, the lunch money you get from mom?

No, I mean my salary which has pushed me into the new you're getting fucked tax bracket.

I'll just have to take your word for it.
