The company and the shareholders keep the wage down to gain personal wealth while fucking the workers who actually WORK. Basically the pigs who sit around and do nothing get more than the people who actually do the work required to get the product made.
The problem is that globally there is such a disgusting gap between the wealthy and the not wealthy. 20% of the people posess 80% of the money. Actually it's even more than that, but that's a nice round figure. As time goes by, the wealthy stop working and all their money is made through investing. So in essence, you've got 90% of the people working and 10% of the people getting the money. It just doesn't work.
