2. And what about cheap labor

Why do corporations and businesses need cheap labor to make a profit while paying executives millions.

No one is entitled to cheap labor. If you need to to pay your workers minimum wage to make a profit, then you don't have a viable business plan.

As someone here on DU once said, "If your employer pays you minimum wage or less, he's telling you he would pay you even less if the law allowed it."
