Why we need a mandatory living wage:

[CapnAwesome]

Indeed, but what I am referring is the near religious unquestioning/blind following of politics nowadays. We like to make fun of North Korea, when we employ the same cult like following to politicians here in the US. Irony at its finest. One can almost call capitalism a new religion.

In North Korea you can be sent to a concentration camp for not keeping your mandatory picture of the Kims clear of dust. So no, we don't have the same cult like following here.
