Reply #26: It really is a matter of morality.

[OnionPatch]

It's simply immoral to expect someone to work for you for less than a living wage, family or no. But as long as everyone believes it's an acceptable and expected business practice, things won't change much. Business will always be angling for the cheapest labor possible until our society evolves to understand how immoral it is and demands a change. It's going to take a collective mindset to really stop unfair labor practices. Someday our society will look back on this the same way we currently look back on the 7-day workweek, child labor and slavery.... but we sure ain't there yet.
