When you consider that, at least in my case I pay close to 50% of my income in some form of taxes, the government is responsible for wages being so high. At least the worker contributes something to the cause. The wall street investor ads nothing but a way to siphon money away from the company. Point: Publicly traded companies and the government stifle industry.

Other industrialized nations protect their industry and subsidize it. We, in the good old U.S. of A. pass laws to encourage them to move offshore.
