You can't teach basic Economics to a Leftest.The lefts point of view is that when an employer makes profit, he or she should share that profit with their workers. Forget about the risks they took to start the business, the hours they work keeping it open, how they manage to keep it open during slow economic times while trying not to layoff employees. That doesn't matter. Employees take risks too. They have to drive to work every morning and punch the clock.
Sure, for all those risks and creating those jobs, an employer should make more money than their employees, just not too much more. They shouldn't be allowed to get rich while their low-skilled employees are just getting by in life. It's not their fault they never learned a skill or trade to make their services more valuable. It's the obligation of the employer to make up for their laziness and bad decisions. After all, they had children they could never afford and now they have to support them.
They don't any more about Economics than the know about History, Biology, Climate Science, Ethics or the Constitution.
