"Minimum wage" is why all our manufacturing is in Mexico and China
Simple minded statement. Who is going to purchase things when
Americans are
NOT EMPLOYED. In fact that's one reason we have the economic problems
we
have. Americans are under employed in the ever increasing race to the
bottom. The corporate world cares ONLY about their bottom line and
nothing
of their responsibilities to the societies they operate in. This
nonsense is
clearly not sustainable.

When per-capita production/productivity exceeds per-capita consumption,
you
*must* have unemployment to balance the equation. Whether that is in
reduced
numbers employed or reduced hours per worker makes no difference - both
reduce
the purchasing power of the worker. And yet we (humankind) spend much
of our
creative efforts trying to improve the productivity side of the
equation.
Are you trying to tell us that the 30% unemployed are TOO
productive????

We seem to have reached that natural "civilized" limit, where most of
the population are consumers, not producers, and these consumers try
to leech upon the remaining society for sustenance... the actual
producers have taken their businesses overseas to avoid confiscatory
taxation. Thus we die :-(

Wrong, it's not the producers who take their business overseas, it's the
corporate "weenies" who take the business out of country. The producers are
now the Chinese and others who make the stuff. They used to be Americans. A
society that does not protect its citizens will die in the end. Protecting
an American manufacturing base is as important as protecting against
terrorism or foreign invaders.
