It's high-time that we doubled the National Minimum-Wage in America!

    wrong of course, all companies pay what they can get away with and that is whatever the labor market demands.

    I don't disagree with that at all, but it seems a large number of people do.

    It's difficult to imagine how anyone would not understand how labor is priced when every one of us throughout our lives has been directly involved in this process??

    Perhaps there is no interest in understanding and instead are happy to exist in a fact-free world?

    yes they do disagree. They prefer socialism because then it does not matter what you contribute to society. There is welfare for all until nobody works and 120 million slowly starve to death.

    Why not let us know how many bottles of Two-Buck Chuck are sold each year?

    let's guess at 1,000,000. And so then do you dare tell us what your mistaken conclusion is about this?

    If you could only remember what you wrote a few minutes ago; You said "of course capitalism forces the capitalist to produce the best possible products and best possible jobs. If you doubt it for a split second start a business with substandard products and jobs. Can you predict what would happen? "

    $2 buck chuck is not the best wine although the cheapest wine...certainly not the 'best possible products'...Like I said; all a business does is find a niche and fill the demand.

    Well why not triple it or quadruple it? Why is only doubling sustainable? It's just less money for the Ferrari fund for the rich fat cats.
