I have absolutely no argument there. I completely agree that 'a workman is worthy of his hire', to steal from an old religious book. People are criminally undervalued, vastly overworked, and grossly underpaid, that's how capitalism works. > This leads them to expect others to also work for next to nothing and > feeds into a downward spiral that leads to nobody valuing what anybody > else does. To some extent I would agree, but I don't believe that it inevitably leads to nobody valuing what anybody does, rather it makes those with less money in their pockets fight much harder to get the services and 'things' cheaper, so that they can afford them. It's a con sequence of an uneven distribution of wealth, where the least wealthy have grown in massive disporportion, have less financial power to bargain with so strive to drive down prices so that they are not excluded from partipation. I heard someone say that if there weren't poor people then the world would be a better place. The person saying it was a businessman running a factory with over 300 workers who had just gone on strike because of work conditions and low wage complaints.
