More From James Sinegal

You know, when i was in college, there was a big debate: do unions raise wages? well, with regard to industrial unions, there were arguments back and forth -- international competition. it is now clear, i think, that whether or not you think unions raised wages 50 years ago, the absence of unions and their weakness that is inflicted by anti-union public policy depresses wages. the fact is that people who are not represented, in the service industries in particular, are the victims of policies which depress their wages.
Depressing College Thinking
If a market exists for low-paid work, then we should think about how we can make this type of work more attractive by providing government assistance. of course, the wage-earner must be able to live off of his wages. we will not allow poverty wages or dumping wages. but the wage earner can receive a combined wage that includes both his actual wages and a government subsidy.
Thinking Government Wages
No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country... by living wages i mean more than a bare subsistence level - i mean the wages of decent living.
Country Mean Labor Day
In my inaugural i laid down the simple proposition that nobody is going to starve in this country. it seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. by "business" i mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers i mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages i mean more than a bare subsistence level - i mean the wages of decent living.
Country Mean Simple
It's a very erroneous strategy to try to push the russian opposition to unite. first of all, the opposition is addressing different parts of russian society that have differing points of view. and besides, a united opposition is a nice big target that the authorities have a much easier time fighting. and besides, resisting an authoritarian regime with an authoritarian opposition merely means that, in the event of victory, you're just doing yet another round of the same old, same old.
Nice Mean Fighting
An opposition is necessary and desirable for the healthy development of any country. you can scarcely find anyone in opposition, except for the communists, just like in yeltsin's times. it is regrettable that there is still no constructive, clear and large-scale opposition in russia. the growth and development of an opposition, as well as the maturing of other democratic institutions, will take more time and experience.

[banks] have a clear obligation to help get this country off its addiction to debt because they sure as hell helped to get this country addicted to debt.

We've got the emphasis on the wrong syllable when it comes to crime in this country. the fbi says burglary and robbery cost u.s. taxpayers $3.8 billion annually. securities fraud alone costs four times that. and securities fraud is nothing to the cost of oil spills, price-fixing, and dangerous or defective products. fraud by health-care corporations alone costs us between $100 billion and $400 billion a year. no three-strikes-and-you're-out for these guys. remember the s&l scandal? $500 billion.
