20% of British workers are
living of a wage below the ‘living wage’, that’s about £7.20 if you live
outside London.
And I can recall that the government considered things like giving smaller companies
a lower minimum wage and various other things which would save money for companies
such as making it easier to hire and fire which would in this climate probably
mean easier to fire.
I say again what I have
said before and that is that the capitalist system is relent on a comfortably wealthy
workforce to survive, the capitalist system needs money to remain in
circulation in order to function otherwise there is less money going round
being actively used to keep capitalism going. Ergo we need a high minimum wage,
so that people have the spending power to buy stuff, in order to keep businesses
going with the trade from selling stuff. Ergo as long as a large chunk of the
population are in poverty the economic cr4isis will continue.
