Did you ever ask him how much he had to risk in order to buy that franchise? His employees are being paid what they are worth. and in many cases, based on my experience, they are getting more then they are worth. What does his income have to do with anything? Why should he give people money for nothing?

And while your at it, ask him how much he gives to charitiy and how much he pays for taxes each year.
