You just gotta read some of the corporate news letters from the big guys that sometimes leak out.
Quite a problem you got going on down there.

"Minimum wage is way too fucking low for how much everything costs, and it needs to be raised."

What a joke. America Somoa is a third world country in the South Pacific.
Meanwhile back in the world of reality, the Republicans had been fighting a min wage increase for the last 6 yrs.
Go figure.

Did you know that socialist societies have significantly higher rates of entrepreneurship?
Market forces are important but they need a nice strong leash on them.
Essentially the rule of thumb is, Pay as little as you can and change as much as you can.
This economic system looks real good under the GDP from of measurement.
Too bad that only takes into account money. I guess that??s why the US likes it so much, it makes your country look good.
I wonder how it would look if economists came up with a more sophisticated formula taking into account environmental pollution/degradation, quality of life and poverty for example. Things that really matter in a society.
In America the top 1% of society has as much wealth as the bottom 90%.
Does any amount or work, investment or intelligence justify making millions of dollars a year?

I??ll give you a little free market in action?
Lets take the US Health care system.
Per capita spending on health care in the USA in 1001 was 5274 international dollars.
Which is about twice as much as Canada spends (2931 IND)
The biggest difference is that 43 million Americas don??t have health coverage.
Now that??s free market efficiency in action
Maybe you??d like it in % of GDP
Since Canada has a much lower GDP than the USA, it looks a little better
USA 14.6% of GDP
Canada 9.6% of GDP
I guess all this inefficiency and waste makes the US GDP look good

The problem with capitalism is that it lacks a social conscious.
Commerce's #1 goal is to increase share holder value/generate profits, so ANY initiative that cuts into profits gets the run-around.
The role of the government is to step in and be the social conscious when commerce fails to self govern, which combated via lobbyists.
The US should take over healthcare and tax any company that does business, or has a business in the US. It should tax all commercial real estate holdings, this way the burden is shared by foreign investors.

IMO the problem is the huge profits.
With such large pockets it isn't hard for very few individuals to affect the opinions of the weak minded. as they do.
It's so funny listening to what a lot of people have to say. Like how some things are bad in principle.
I hear it day in and day out in BC. We have a public owned auto insurance company.
I see letters about it all the time, Bla Bla Bla government monopoly.
No one seems to realize that a monopoly is only bad in the hands of a capitalist whos purpose is to make money.
Unlike a public corporation whos purpose is to supply a service to the population,
Which it does at the 3rd lowest rate in the country, after two other public companies.
