Well the "slaves" sure seem happy to be working and getting paid.

They also seem to be dying to get into slavery!

The truth is that Socialists want to stifle the economy by establishing the so called "living wage" which is in fact the wage that will cash this economy into the dust, especially for first time employees.

There already is a "Living Wage"

It's all the social programs directed at those below the poverty line - which subsidize this cheap labor pool for these barons.

Defenders of slavery used to say the same sort of thing. Funny how nobody listened to them.

Oh, take me in, gentle Master, and let me warm myself by your fire! It's so cold out here in the dark!!!

Funny how a living wage didn't crash the 50's economy into the dust.....or crash Ford into the dust when he was paying people the unheard-of wage of $5/day, two generations earlier.

Truth is, every employer could be Fezziwig instead of Scrooge and Marley if he wanted to. Sometimes the motive for breaking wages is just plain greed.
