Reply #49: To connect those thoughts: how can liberals say they believe labor should [View All]

be rewarded when we argue that we believe there's a limit on the value of labor?

I think for the sake of consistency that we believe that Michael Jordan deserved a pretty big piece of all the wealth he created for the NBA, the Bulls and Nike, since he was the one who worked so hard and made so many sacrifices to be so good. Certainly, a big reason Nike had so much money to make was because they were exploiting someone else's labor in Indonesia, but Jordan doesn't remedy that by refusing to take Nike's money (that would only mean Nike was exploiting Jordan's labor as well as the labor of Indonesia).
