Conservative dogma. Workers Compensation is another unaffordable item

Bowser — 2/11/2007 11:37:23 PM (archived)

Called "greed". Occupational health and safety. Completely unaffordable. Will drive the cost of products up so that no one can afford 'em.

"Living wage". What could you live on? Why should anyone else live on less? Very simple.
