” cheap labor of immigrants deliberately imported to keep wages low;”

“millions of hours of free slave labor”
I’m going to exaggerate to make a point:
Slave labor wasn’t free. The slaveowner had to feed, clothe, and house the slaves.
Current business practice in America is to pay some workers so little that the employee cannot provide food, clothing, and housing for his family.
Corporate America is compensating some of it’s workforce at LESS than SLAVE WAGES.
The taxpayer is then forced to make up the difference with “assistance programs” and subsidized housing for these “chronically poor” employees–so that business can MAKE MORE PROFIT; and the executives can take home obscene salaries.
ALL Corporate Welfare is WRONG.
MOST taxpayer-funded individual assistance programs are WRONG.
Let business pay proper wages. ELIMINATE “Enforced Charity”.
