The difference between taxes paid on $50,000 vs $250,000

Should a boss who spends all day & night on a message board not working make more than the skilled employees who bust their ass actually working?

Depends...if he's just the boss, that's up to the owner. If he's the owner...he can do whatever he wants.
 
So employees should make more than the boss?

Happens more often than you think. I have zero problem paying an employee more than I make if he/she is valuable enough. One federal employee working for the Department of Veterans Affairs in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania makes more than the President of the United States.

I never said it doesn't happen and there are times when it could be justified those are few and far between. Back to your cabinet shop example you as boss man are responsible for paperwork contacting clients setting up installs and buy materials where as joe cabinet maker only makes cabinets by he's been building them longer than you. Who do you pay more

I don't know any simpler way to say this....if the employee is important enough to my business I have zero problem paying him/her more than I make. Coach K at Duke makes 9 times what the university President makes.

You're changing your premise from your original answer. Originally you said it had to do with how long they had been in their respective positions. Which is it? Who has seniority or who has more value?

He won't be there long after Trump is elected.

Veterans Affairs-You are fired.

No. I am not changing the premise. A vice principal in his first of experience may not be more valuable than a teacher with 10 years experience in their position. Or just the opposite.

Oh you are you didn't say based on perceived value and experience. You just said years of experience

What is wrong with you? My whole argument has been pay the person who is most valuable the most money. "Which one is creating more revenue for their company? That one." And: " I have zero problem paying an employee more than I make if he/she is valuable enough."

You're the one whose platform has been....if they are higher in the eschelon, they should get paid more. You can't even follow your own argument.
 
Your original statement was about longevity at certain position, nothing about value to company.

You need help.

You said "Ok so now teachers are making more what about the administrators? Should teachers be making as much as an admin?"

I said "Depends on how much experience the teacher and administrator have in their respective positions."

I then reiterated that same point with "A vice principal in his first of experience may not be more valuable than a teacher with 10 years experience in their position."

If you can't see that, you're intellectually blind.

Fine whatever you say. Now how many of your employees make more than you do?
 
Hate to burst your bubble, Trump won't be president.

Well if he is he is going to fire that guy. Maybe he will pardon Hillary.

And, you don't know who I voting for.

And, greed if you are only pulling in 50 Large doing what you do, I could maybe help you find something else.

I doubt you could help me. You couldn't run a business at all. That's the reason you're working for someone else.
