It strikes me the sheer amount of ignorance that some Americans esp. from the right exhibit when they debate anything that isn't sweatshop/plantation or winner-takes-all capitalism. They seem very oblivious to all the competing ideologies and economic theories out there and they always rush to judge anything that's contradictory to their economic worldview as "socialist" or "communist" like it's actually a bad thing but this should be the topic of another discussion.
Back to our subject, the pay scale that this business owner proposed is not actually socialist much less communist. It was just a communitarianist approach with centrist leaning on the right-left spectrum but these Limbaugh bots just freaked out like useful idiots that they are when they heard about this more egalitarian, considerate, humane compensation scheme barking at the business owner.
This is really pathetic and it's really disheartening to know about this silly reaction from these brainwashed people.
Finally, I must congratulate this brave guy on his ethics and I wish him all the luck even though I might have some reservations or concerns regarding infusing the workplace with political messages and using business ventures as political conduits to spread these messages about certain social causes but after all I support his decision of seeking a flatter pay scale and doing what he could to close the income inequality gap between the poor and the rich even on a micro-scale like what he did inside his organization.
