@strata1972 Try doing that without CAPITAL.

Try breaking the entry barrier costs without credit, collateral or CAPITAL.

You don't understand how it works.

"What has happened to the $19.88 cents ?" Well the answer is pretty obvious. Employees of the stores who sell the shirts, shipping and logistics and all THOSE related employees, overhead including leases and rents, utilities and so on. Sure some is profit but he is implying the "evil corporation" is keeping $19.88 in profit, when really its just a function of the fact that US consumers demand very low prices, but paradoxically insist on high wages.

US Federal minimum wage laws should be extended worldwide for all imports.

My daughter won't help me one bit, nor consider moving in together. She is completely brainwashed about the American Dream. I was too, I guess. Now I will be homeless while she gets her nails done. But when she hits 25 or 30, she can join me !! They will get another 16-year-old like they got her.

The corporations are not taxed, not regulated and treat the workers like slaves.

It doesn't help those workers. It doesn't help US workers.

American workers lose jobs and have to settle for lower wage jobs.

The only ones who benefit are the owners of the corporations.

THe way to break this wage system is to do like people did before the 20th century. Strike out on your own, start your own business, small independant, moral, self motivated. THese Corporations know we need them for employment and product.
