Wal Mart increases starting wage

Agreed they won't leave . They never have prior they won't now it's a bluff . They realize even if they won't admit it that living in a first world country is better. Even if they refuse to contribute to it staying that way and prefer the "I got mine fuck everyone else mentality ) Which is ultimately in the broad and long term self destructive to society . And lowers there own prosperity .

Especially if you do what Trump said he would (and never would have in a million years)and Bernie would have actually done. That's tax their goods when they want to bring them back to the huge market in America.

(With respect. I know you're Canadian, not exactly sure how the tax system is there, probably more progressive)

Our tax system is kind of a hybrid. We take some cues from our british heritage and tax law . But there are some American elements within it.

The rich love there employees the way an plantation owner values his indentured servants.

Some Southerners and South-sympathizers used to try to make the case that slaves were better off under servitude. (John Wilkes Booth made such claims.) I guess rule #1 of exploitation is justify your exploitation.

If a nation had a decent education system . The patronage of the rich would not be needed. Education should be a right to all people as through it men are freed from the bondage of ignorance .

I agree. Education is crucial if you want people to reach their potential. But most people value education inasmuch as it will help one get a "good job." Education is about enrichment of the mind. It's not "job training." People are so short-sighted on this. They don't understand that a workforce of enriched minds is exponentially more capable than an army of well-trained machines.

Indeed an enlightened country is far more advanced , safer , cleaner and less violent . And the rate of personnel satisfaction tends to be higher .
