[C]heap-labor conservatives are defenders of corporate America – whose fortunes depend on labor. The larger the labor supply, the cheaper it is. The more desperately you need a job, the cheaper you’ll work, and the more power those “corporate lords” have over you…
— Cheap-labor conservatives don’t like social spending or our “safety net.” Why? Because when you’re unemployed and desperate, corporations can pay you whatever they feel like – which is inevitably next to nothing. You see, they want you “over a barrel” and in a position to “work cheap or starve.”
— Cheap-labor conservatives don’t like the minimum wage or other improvements in wages and working conditions. Why? These reforms undo all of their efforts to keep you “over a barrel…”
— Cheap-labor conservatives oppose a woman’s right to choose. Why? Unwanted children are an economic burden that put poor women “over a barrel,” forcing them to work cheap.
— Cheap-labor conservatives don’t like unions. Why? Because when labor “sticks together,” wages go up. That’s why workers unionize. Seems workers don’t like being “over a barrel.”
— Cheap-labor conservatives constantly bray about “morality,” “virtue,” “respect for authority,” “hard work” and other “values.” Why? So they can blame your being “over a barrel” on your own “immorality,” lack of “values,” and “poor choices.”
— Cheap-labor conservatives encourage racism, misogyny, homophobia and other forms of bigotry. Why? Bigotry among wage earners distracts them, and keeps them from recognizing their common interests as wage earners.
