Re: Capitalism and Justice

Hi Stephen. Another Canadian example (though, of course, such 
developments are not limited to Canada).

Here in British Columbia, we yesterday had a provincial election, in 
which the Liberal (?) candidate for Premier's position on the minimum 
wage was that it should be lowered (rather than tied to inflation as the 
NDP candidate advocated), on the grounds that the minimum wage increased 
the costs of the employer, and hence would result in loss of jobs. Now, 
aside from this being a non-sensical claim, it also quite nicely 
demonstrates that capitalists are quite willing to impoverish in order to 
gain wealth (this candidate is also a property developer - read: asshole 
landlord). Thankfully, he lost.

Kill the rich.
