Trample the poor with horses.

Here you go. If you can't get those blue collar workers to work for minimum wage, trample them with your mounted police. You heard me take them down with your horses.
Well that's what the city of Houston did. Read this article, let me know if you share in my outrage.
"The Houston janitors continue to get attacked viciously, this time through legal means, for standing up for their economic welfare. At first they were trampled by horses, then they were arrested and mistreated in jail, and now bail is set at a ridiculous level so the 44 people arrested can't pay it." This is a direct quote, the first paragraph of this article.
I hope everyone is aware of the hidden truth, they don't want to increase the wages of those people because it would mean that the CEO of that company might have to forgo the planned outrageous raise he / she had planned for themselves, or, heaven forbid, a salary cut.
I have an idea Mr. / Mrs. CEO, pay them a living wage, honestly, you will get to work in the same amount of time in a stock factory car as you would in your Bentley. Sell the Bentley buy yourself a nice Chevy, Ford, Dodge, off of the lot. Pass the savings on to your employee's.
I hold nothing against you if you live better than your employee's. You worked hard to start your business. Do you really need to make a thousand times more than your employee's. Buy a good house, leave the million dollar homes for rot. Take care of your people and I bet your business will boom even bigger.
