2. Funny how they always stress "free market" values...
...until some corporation balks at paying a wage that would entice an american worker to take a job "no american is willing to take"...Surprise-here in New Hampshire that means jobs in hotels and restaurants during tourist season, and yes it's hard trying to get workers seriously interested in seasonal work with no benifits.But in a free market, wages and benifits would rise until the compensation would allow a living wage and commeasurate benefits. Workers here would kill for a job that gave year long benefits and paid highly enough that an 8 month season allowed a year of living (which is pretty much what the owners and corporations demand).
In short, "We want peons and we want them now!"
