They conflate needs with wants.

Rather than spending less, they want to make more.

It's about quality, not quantity.

That said, it's not fair for workers to get shafted while owners get richer. I believe they all should be making less money so those who have less can have more, but I'll settle for workers at least getting proportional compensation.

Why do you think they can spend less when the inflation increased by a great margin?

How about those shareholders spend less for a change and don't demand a perpetual 30% yearly increase, huh?

Because they're not going to die if they spend less money. What do you think makes it impossible for them to spend less money?
