Right. And if people are not making the money they earn - if productivity is
not closely associated with financial reward - people buy less. When people
buy less there is less market demand. Less production. Fewer jobs. More
poverty. It is a cycle that is nasty... and you end up some rich people
being able to exploit the poor and a shrinking middle class.

So as long as you make a penny a year you should be happy... no matter how
productive you are. That is silly.

It may mean some prices go up... but it will also mean more market demand
which means more jobs. Really we should have a minimum wage tied to
inflation. If the corporations work to punish people for no longer getting
socialized support of their labor force it ends up costing them more in
labor.
