Let the market pay employees what those employees are worth. Isn't that what free-market capitalism and democracy is worth?
If you so dearly love and want socialism, why not move back to Sweden - keeping in mind that their entire economy is LESS than that of the state of California and is thus, MUCH easier to manipulate. |
And with this post you have explained why capitalism is a complete failure. What someone is worth and what a corporation wants to pay them is never going to be the same amount.
I will definitely live in Sweden again when it is time to raise children.  --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence. |
