Oughta be a maximum wage as well as a minimum wage law

41. I truly believe it because it's the way the system is set up.

In order to make money you have to compete with the rest of the industry. If the system is set up to underpay people, to not pay attention to safety regulations and a thousand others or not to have regulations at all, in order to be competitive you have to lower your standards as well. Now CostCo pays their employees a living wage. Walmart doesn't. CostCos owners do well but they don't have the billions the Waltons do. That's how it goes. If you can turn your back on the fact that you are getting rich on the backs of those who are poor; if you can make money on Wall Street in the MIC and the blood of young Americans and murdered civilian foreigners; if you have no concern over the pollution your industry creates that kills people, then you can make money.
