employers: real trickle-down in Capitalism looks like offering thriving, not just livable, wages. also, capping the top incomes. some would say giving equal wages to all. and yes, finding excellent, qualified people who are willing to let go of excessive wages for simply a thriving wage. it's a choice.
i get that part of the limitations on that choice are the need to stay "competitive," or to "get big or get out." so the employer says the wage inequality in their company is all about "keeping the doors open" and thereby keeping employees employed. and they're right - to an extent. the system in which the corporation operates does put these pressures on. this is where coalition-building and changing the game by playing it differently together is needed.
