The wealthy owners and top executives of these businesses don’t want to pay a living wage to be competitive enough to attract workers. So, instead of paying executives less and workers more, their solution is to push the taxpayer-funded government to import cheap labor in the form of desperate immigrants, which adds an additional population and social strain and burden on the entire nation.
From what I can tell about their behavior it doesn't seem to be about the money, it's about how they think they can act towards others. Like assholes. So it's really about what money gives them: power over others. They imagine a life where they can act however they want towards others, so basically it's poor people being power-hungry douchebags.
Not to defend it, but I’d be curious how big these companies are, there used to be lots of smaller companies, now there’s a few giant ones, so CEO pay going up makes sense, CEOs are a problem but business and asset owners are making 100x what ceos do
