Quote from Misthos:
You have to admit, that in a truly capitalist society, supply and demand do not only affect prices, but wages too.
Illegal immigration financially kills those that work entry level and lower level jobs.
Working in a slaughterhouse, picking vegetables under the glaring sun, or flipping burgers at McDonalds sucks. And if it sucks, then a true market would react with wage gains. But it doesn't - we flood those jobs with illegal immigrants so the salaries stay low. Many of those immigrants live 20 to a home and send much of that money back to their relatives in their home countries.
I like to see the day when we import more foreign CEOs and pay them what they make in their home countries. In China, the head of a bank makes 230K. Let's start there. After all, our FInance CEOs that still make 10s of millions a year almost blew up the world last year. Are they really worth their salaries?
By the way, those "chumps" making minimum wage pick food, cook it, sweep streets, pick up garbage. Try living in a society without them "chumps." You stuck up ASSHOLE.
