No, I'm disagreeing with your statement the owner was stealing your tips. A hint to that is the post I responded to was your statement he was stealing your tips. I own two businesses, one is a restaurant and our policy is to give all tips to staff. But that is part of our consideration in determining their compensation. It's his carwash and you work for him under his rules. What protects you is the ability to walk across the street to another car wash and work for them. You said he stole your tips, but you stayed there. Why?It was his company, but it was your choice to work for him. So why didn't you get a job with someone who operated his company according to your rules of fairness? Were you too lazy?
So... you are DISAGREEING with my criticism of socialist planned economy?
Your reference seemed to be in support of the argument capitalists are greedy and workers abused and are being stole from by their capitalist overlords. If I misunderstood that then please re-frame for me.
This is exactly why we need regulations. Because people like you own businesses. Unbelievable!
We were never able to prove that he stole the tips that people gave with the understanding that they were not going to him. I later worked for the same business under different management (it was then owned by a proper Christian couple). Though the previous owner had alienated most of his regular customers before he sold and they had less business, we received more tips. This is how we found out
edited to add; In a fully socialist economy, the government IS the sole capitalist, and so it stands to reason that it acts like... well, you
