If the guy's willing to work for $15 an hour I don't think that's something wrong with it. His clothes are bought from countries that are fighting each other for the privilege of selling them textiles. (US has quotas on textiles to distribute US wealth to Bangladesh and India.)
Hi orange juice would be even cheaper if the US wouldn't protect Florida orange growers. Idem for other of his food stuffs. His fuels his car with cheap gasoline. In one word: his income is spent on deflated goods!!!!

He could even earn less. That if he didn't have to pay to support 300+ billion "defense" expenditures and the one-man arm race of Bush.

There will be something wrong when he only will appear to work when he need to buy any new good, like the TNT people of Jay's chronicle do.

Everybody talks about how the poor should be helped- But when the poor want to export their way out of poverty no one wants him to!
