re: #11 William Barnett-Lewis

No, it’s not a typo. The real problem though is not the owners of the factories. It’s the owners of companies like Walmart that refuse to pay those owners enough for them to be able to pay the workers enough to live on. Yeah, the owners are milking their workers but the owners are not stealing anything even remotely like the asinine 250x margins we have in America.

Yeah, I do pray that the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus is true but only if the rich man who is so punished is the appropriate family member of the Waltons or the Kochs or their equivalent.

Don’t go after the Kochs on this one. The impact of Koch Industries upon garment making is only tangential, and an impact exists it is positive, as Koch-run energy production in the US is lowering the price of energy and thus the cost of manufacturing.
