Henry Ford, an American industrialist and founder of the Ford Motor Company, stated that it is not the employer who pays wages but rather the customer. He believed that employers do not directly pay wages but rather generate revenue from customers that ultimately funds wages for employees. In short, wages are paid through business revenue generated from customers, not directly from employers.

the wages. (...) It is the customer
who pays the wages.”
