The Reader's Digest school of economics.

Or, "The Attack Continues". I truly didn't think it could sink this low, however.

The PR campaign against Unions, while generally ignoring the far, far bigger corporate shenanigans, was effective. Next came "globalization", the plan to reduce all workers to wage levels equivalent to third-world countries. That is working in spades, only to the benefit of multinational corporations. The influential Reader's Digest promoted both of these causes.

And now an attack on the minimum wage? Which, even with two people working for it, isn't enough to live on.

How low can some people go? It's really beyond belief. And I'll bet the Reader's Digest will run articles showing how legitimate businesses are suffering because they have to pay their workers that pittance. Some businesses shouldn't be in business.
