Of course, the corporate criminal whores now shriek loudly to slash those programs so they don't have to pay taxes to support the people they are already exploiting by paying them shit wages while they buy their second or third yachts.
That was the point of me asking said question. Comparing the economic culture of Germany to the economic culture of America. If minimum wage was scrapped it would only result in worsening worker exploitation. I feel the greater issue is to resolve the corporatist empire they have built.
