Raising someones salary

Raising someones salary causes a business to pass on the difference in salary to the cost of product. Therefore raising prices. Other individuals want raises too, so there businesses raise the value of their goods so the other people can go out and buy the inflated products. This not solving the individual prices. Now obviously what should be done is the businesses should eat the costs and provide a more fair wage to their employees and not raise the value of their products, but we all know what this does for the bottom line.

We now live in a world of globalization. A giant business can pay fair wages to a factory worker, whos likely going to strike and demand more money. Or he can find another country with workers who will just be happy to work for damn near close to nothing and reap the savings and provide better for his family.

Morality question, when we are shopping at Walmart, buying this cheap made in china crap which is way cheaper than the made in canada stuff beside it. Are we any better than this big business doing the same thing just trying to save some money?

The major problem with these societal issues is society. People are looking to leave more money in their bank accounts and don't consider their transactions and how it effects their future or the world around them. Yeah it's the banks fault for giving out shit loads of bad loans. Yeah it's corporations fault for outsourcing jobs and not providing a paycheck to a local business. Not to mention the human right's abuses in china are going to keep going on if big business keeps pouring money into their mega factories. But the average north american has no idea when they are shopping where their money goes after they reach the check out. Until the people of our country are more focuses on what's going on in the world around them and less focused on XBox and Survivor, our nation is going to continue to deteriorate into failure. It's time to stop occupying streets or land marks or places that are just irratating people. It's time to start occupying friends and families and start having discussions about why our economy is failing. We need to teach our kids how to not just save, but invest. The world needs to know that the rich are rich because we put them there, and if they don't deserve it we can always take our money elsewhere to a company or a person who deserves it, even if the price is a little higher.
