It's surprising that any elected official has not before spoken out about the effect of peon-wages on the earning power of American workers.

Labor is a commodity, a raw material. Corporations are legal entities. Lower one of the costs of doing business and the corporation will jump on it.

It's no surprise that businesses go for the cheapest wage. What is surprising is that so many of the very people whose wages are being undermined continue to vote for candidates running on the Democrat/Socialist ticket.


After all, it is mostly Democrat/Socialists who are in favor of unlimited immigration and for exporting American jobs overseas.

Go figure.

Because they are purposely kept ignorant. It should be the job of conservatives to inform them that they are voting against their own self-interest by devaluing their own labor. The workers will be easily convinced of the obvious when it is brought to their attention.

This is the subversion of the natural moral order. Labor is a key activity of human beings who should be served by the political/economical system. Corporations are a construct.
