You cannot use capitalism to run a society. Capitalism is a tool of society. Democracy must run a society.

And unions do a better job of making sure the middle class Is paid a fair wage and jobs are safe than your little man in the sky-lol.

Our country worked best when unions were strong like the 50's and 60's, when we had a vibrant middle class. When Reagan started destroying unions wages fell and the middle class was decimated.

Good lol!

It doesn't matter what you and I think someone should be paid. There is an invisible man in the sky that determines that. Just like he determines what everything is worth. You can shout and scream and pass laws and regulations and do as you please, but if you mess with him, he will finally catch up with you.

It doesn't pay to mess with "Mr Market."

Lindy, read my post again....

I wasn't saying anything about what people should be paid.

I was just saying that when you hire somebody you shouldn't be able to treat them like personal servants that HAVE to be available at YOUR beck and call.

MY problem with Walmart is that they expect their employees to be available at all hours so they aren't able to work any other jobs.
