They will never accept responsibility. It will always be the fault of the greedy profit seekers.

It is those rich factory owners wanting their third Rolls or second summer home in the Hamptons.

The fact that no one wants to pay an extra $10 for a tee-shirt so that someone that they have never met can afford a 70 inch TV

Sorry folks the simple fact is that even in a communist country the realities of capitalism apply. The price of everything is defendant on the rules of supply and demand AND on what the market will bear.

If a tee-shirt will not sell at $50 then the price must fall to that at which it will sell. If the price of labor precludes selling at that price then the cost of labor must fall or the tee-shirt will not be manufactured and the labor will be unemployed.

any chance this minimum wage nonsense is why my wife is getting paid 10 bucks an hour more than she used to for her advertising work.

making double what a McDonalds workers will make in Manhattan is an insult now, I guess, so maybe they’re throwing more at the workers?

what their real endgame is will be to not just raise the lower echelon of workers, but to lower the upper echelon.

Equality for all. Just like Lenin wanted.
