Could be, kurto: I'll not say its impossible. But you must agree there is a limit or range. For instance if the minimum wage was $30 an hour I'll bet there'd be a helluva lot fewer minimum wage jobs. And the ceiling is probably a lot lower than that.

I know that I and my partner in the cleaning business (years later) decided to let go a very good worker just because we figured out we were paying him too much. So we did the extra work ourselves for a while after we fired him. So the small business scenario is not baseless--and apparently the other business owner in this thread concurs.
