Justify starvation wages/cheap labor

[HappyTexan]

The only one who confiscates money from those that earn it is the government.
It's not a company because they tell you the salary and offer you the job..you accept or decline. Once you accept they don't confiscate any of your salary so it's not the company you must be referring to..correct ?

How can I justify that ? I can't. The government is more concerned with sending my tax dollars to big banks and rebuilding other countries.

I wish they wouldn't as we have plenty of problems here at home where my tax dollars could be put to better use. But there's not much I can do about that except to vote and hope that others vote the same way.

Sadly most of them don't. They vote on slogans and empty promises.

Please answer the question only with intelligent and sound responses and remain on topic. Do not turn this into another verbal food fight by throwing out what ever you can think of. Any off subject responses will be considered trolling.

If you think you can intelligently articulate a sound basis for "starvation wages/cheap labor" please do so. If not, don't reply.

I suspect employers could pay higher wages if they didn't have to spend so much money complying with government requirements and filling out governmnet paperwork. If people purchased their own healthcare employers could pay them the difference of the price of insurance to their current wages too. The price of health insurance to small businesses holds wages down.
