3. Excellent discussion. If only we could get some of these quality discussions on the Corporate media,

although so few Americans get their news from now choosing instead the far more credible media such as RT and CCTV and Al Jazeera.

Keep up the good work as more and more people are watching now than ever before.

4. Raising the wages of the wage slave will NOT solve the problem

The problem is that they are serfs at the workplace. Taking the orders of their kings - the bosses and CEOs.

As soon as their wages are providing a living wage, the kings - bosses and CEOs - will find new ways to bring it down. The kings will cut hours, benefits, safety and hygiene to make a bigger and bigger profit.

We have to attack the root of the problem - capitalism. Bring democracy into the workplace and change it from the feudal system we have now.
