Business gets it both ways. Pay them barely slave wages here and then import shit made in Mexico by people making next to nothing.
In case you didn't read my post in another thread. We allow free discussion of a range of topics, especially in the OT forum, and have lax rules there. People get excited and agitated by topics like religion and politics (things you don't discuss at the dinner table). We believe you cannot have an honest discussion about race if you don't allow people to express their views. Nate went beyond any of that with a vicious and racist attack. We have zero tolerance for that. He's been banned, permanently.
They already do. They pay over 12 billion in taxes already WHILE being exploited by these companies and ultimately government and our entire nation as they most certainly contribute to our revenue and GDP..
I said fair? Same thing to me. If a job is worth doing for a certain number compared to other jobs when we all use legal labor, that's acceptable to me. I don't for a second speak of a living wage. Sign spinning for example. Last I heard they make ok money for the job performed. If you can't buy a house as a sign spinner that isn't my problem.
Well, by acceptable I mean, a wage that will attract a Citizen worker on it's own merit. They always say, Americans will not take the job. And I say, if it is worth it they will. But if we continue to import labor to fill the under paid jobs, then idle citizen list will continue to grow. Now if the citizen are not idle, then perhaps more should be goal. But only if, we know what the sustainable population should be for good life in this country. We have no more land to exploit, and people already clamor for a reduction of CO2 generation. Increasing the population is already incompatible with the current wants.
