I am far right wing as they come. However, my employees are always first in my mind. I guess I am old school at 60 now. If you can't pay a wage that can support the very basics for your employee and his/her family - you have no business owning the business and engaging in slavery ! if your not paying your employees at least 22.00 / hour - you are a shameless slave owner, not unlike the majority of the Chinese we call out in sweat factories .
