Classical Liberalism

[Dotard]

American workers have a decent quality of life,

You only demonstrated you are not an American worker. I am and this 'quality' you speak of is lacking.

You're a naive non-american if you really think wages are determined by the workers. Wages are as the song goes; "I'm taking what they're givin' 'cause I'm working for a living." They are set and determined by some fat-man sitting behind a desk. I know your 'Adrianish' response, 'If you ain't happy with what is being paid, don't work there'. Yeah, it's that easy, you can starve and sleep in the gutters until you get one that will pay you a living wage.

The average american WORKER lives paycheck to paycheck and is only one missed payday from disaster. Miss a payday, lose your home and you're out on the street.

If it wasn't for the government stepping in and setting a minimum wage allowed by law then these fat-asses behind desks would still be paying $2 an hour and saying "Fuck you, you don't like it, leave."
