"SLAVE LABOR": Hillary Confidante Pushes Manufacturing in Ghana with its 23¢ Minimum Wage
Doug Ross @ Journal ^ | January 18, 2016 | Richard Pollock

Cheryl D. Mills, long-time friend and confidant of Bill and Hillary Clinton, is promoting a 23 cents-an-hour wage in the West African nation of Ghana to lure textile and apparel industry companies to invest there even as the former secretary of state advocates a $15-an-hour "livable wage" here.

Mills' newly formed firm, the BlackIvy Group, LLC., makes the pitch with a powerpoint presentation that was obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Critics interviewed by TheDCNF charged that the presentation promotes "slave labor" and "slave wages."

The campaign by Mills' firm to attract investors to Ghana on the basis of a wage that is only 1.5 percent of the value of the proposed Livable Wage could undermine the former secretary of state's campaign for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination....

Pay close attention, folks. It’s what they have in mind for us. There is only one way to stop them.

Yep, you are right on the money. How many hours would it take to buy a pair of Levi’s at 23 cents gross/hr? Slavery started in Africa looks like it has gone full circle.

according to here:http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_result.jsp?country=Ghana
A domestic beer is $1.85 so a Ghana worker has to work 8 hrs to buy a beer and a Meal at an Inexpensive Restaurant is $6.00 =26 hrs.
This guy needs to be tarred and feathered.

It never left it origin. Slavery is a vile and obscene practice from Africa that predates the white man in Africa. This same obscene practice also existed on all continents and it was not exclusive to Africa nor Europe nor Asia. Men and women were sold back and forth by black men, white men and orientals. They were but goods.

Racism and slavery is not the white mans guilt. It is the guilt of all humans.

It still goes on, I myself am aware of it in the Middle East in the 70s. One was white European.

Life is ugly.

Thank you. Until recently I did not know it was as wide spread as it is.
