What a scrooge Mr. Rod is.

stupid capitalist boss.

Yes sir, I’ll definitely remind you to do that.

It’s called “paying their fair share”.

For the staff’s reaction, see today’s Bound & Gagged…

So every one should pitch in 10% or the higher earners should pitch in more since they won’t miss it?

well, at least he’s pitching in penny

GoldenRoya: The only difference is who is dictator. feudalism it is the hereditary aristocracy. Communism the presidium of the central committee. Capitalism the overlapping directorates of the Forbes 500.

What a Jackass!

Don’t remind him!

No, if it were (idealized) communism, they’d all be paid the same, would share in the ownership of the shop, and then all, including Senor Rod, would contribute equally. More to the point here is that S. Rod volun-told his workers they they would pay for his beneficence – that’s a species of dictatorship, as hippogriff points out, and that is not unique or a necessary feature of communism/socialism, any more than it is of capitalism (in which case we would call it fascism), or our current corporate kleptocracy, which is leaning heavily towards fascism, but hasn’t gotten that far (yet).

Certainly his practices are illegal in California.

pitching in without your permission and without you knowing .
