Just taking your ideology, as stated in the previous post, to its logical conclusion.
Your reductio ad absurdum is just as lame a debate strategy as your buddy's redundancy.
Get a valid response ready and try again.
What I did is take the argument you’ve made against giving employees a living wage to its logical conclusion. If some people don’t deserve to have the means necessary to survive, as you have argued, then why should they deserve to live? The only way it doesn’t follow is if you enjoy seeing them suffer or you just find the idea of actually helping people in need repugnant and don’t give a shit about human suffering. Either way, I don’t know how you can see those people who don’t deserve a living wage to be anything but Lebensunwertes Leben.
