Reply #13: how an international minimum wage would help

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

First of all, the race to the bottom would end. There would be a bottom. There would be no more laying off $10 an hour workers to exploit people and only pay them 50 cents an hour, under totalitarian regimes and unfair conditions. It would immediatly remove any profit motive a corporation might have to exploit people.

Then we can start the process of bringing the living standards up around the world. I fully support international trade and globalization. I want it to happen under democratic governments that are responsible to the people they govern.

It would be even better if we made sure that corporations stay inside their countries, and stay out of other people's countries. One thing at a time. Let's get a minimum wage.
