Whatever creates poverty is the root of all evil. If everyone had access to the cookie jar, the crime would probably drop.
The hardest part of doing nothing is knowing when your done.

the point is, if someone works 40+ hours a week and they can't support their family something is objectively wrong with the system.
I've explained the trends that are occurring, and empirical evidence from experts, such as those at Goldman Sachs, who have observed that corporate profits are at an all time high while wages are at all time lows.
If these "job suppliers" aren't supplying adequate jobs why let them operate? That is their social purpose. I don't care if some f**k is getting rich, I care about families getting what they need, kids getting educated etc. Thats what it comes down to.

Sorry, but in the 21st century walmart isn't going to provide living wages, nor should it be expected too. In the next 15 years those jobs will be a thing of the past anyway.
