19. More than that , if minimum wage wage laws were enforced
the oligarchs fronting for Anglo/American corporations would be forced to pay a living wage to their "seasonal workers" in Central America. Ironically that would open a new market for the manufacturers. We're being played to keep looking at the wrong end of the donkey.
