Calm down with the vitrol. I think chispito really meant to say: "Does an emploer really owe something *more* to society for hiring people and paything them wages?"
The employer is already providing society a great benefit by hiring people and paying them wages, the employer does this by taking on a substantial amount of risk for the chance to earn some kind of profit. The employee, on the other hand, takes on relatively minimal amount of risk, accepting the job, doing the work and getting paid regularly.
Our whole society is built on this employer/employee relationship, and to tip the scales one way or the other with regulations will often lead to unintended outcomes because people will naturally do what is best for them, not for you.
