Strong Class Wages

More From James Sinegal

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
Sharp increases in the minimum wage rate are also inflationary. frequently workers paid more than the minimum gauge their wages relative to it. this is especially true of those workers who are paid by the hour. an increase in the minimum therefore increases their demands for higher wages in order to maintain their place in the structure of wages. and when the increase is as sharp as it is in h.r. 7935, the result is sure to be a fresh surge of inflation.

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
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.

Men by their constitutions are naturally divided into two parties: 1. those who fear and distrust the people, and wish to draw all powers from them into the hands of the higher classes. 2. those who identify themselves with the people, have confidence in them, cherish and consider them as the most honest and safe, although not the most wise depositary of the public interests. in every country these two parties exist, and in every one where they are free to think, speak, and write, they will declare themselves.
Wise Country Party
Health care's a great example. we spend billions of dollars a year in foreign aid helping people in countries where the money never gets to see the bottom tier, because the bad, corrupt politicians in the government that they have there end up taking what we give them.
