Depends on your product doesn't it? One wonders what Boeing would have to pay for each employee to buy his own 747.

Clearly it does to some extent depend upon product but Boeing in its own self interest should pay a wage sufficient to their employees so they can as a general rulepurchase seats on flights using Boeing aircraft.

So Henry Ford paid his employees enough so that they could afford cab fare? Nice try.

No, Henry Ford's real "stroke of genius" was to use modern production techniques like the automated production line to produce cars cheap enough to be purchased by the average worker. Ford didn't get rich selling his product to his employees, he got rich selling millions of cars to the rest of the country.
