>> He did MORE than just "say it".

He said it totally as a salesman.

The reality is that the raise came for one reason only: He couldn't keep his assembly line running with sick-outs and no-shows.

The Ford raise was 100% a product of free markets at work. The comment he made was putting a public face on it without saying, "I had to or we'd have been unable to produce cars."

And there is proof of this fact.

Ford was an intelligent individual and no intelligent individual would conclude that you could make more money by paying your workers more so they could by more of YOUR PRODUCT. That is an inherently stupid argument that it is self-evident Ford would never have believed.
