Every time I watch a 'news' show or listen to the pundits debate the worth or value of increasing the minimum wage, it seems to me that from the corporate side, their defense AGAINST it is that it will raise prices. Every time it is suggested that remediation or mitigation be included in the price of development of any resource whether it be oil, gas or coal, we get the same response, it will raise prices.
The sacrosanct message is that ALL PROFITS are to remain at the same outrageous extreme level they achieved through wage suppression and environmental irresponsibility. No matter what anyone says to the contrary, their message remains the same, profits must remain as they are now. No taxes, no sharing of the wealth, no responsibility to the country or states being exploited.
Am I the only one hearing this? I don't hear anyone challenging them on the profiteering that is taking the WORLD down the rathole.
