Great success!!!
Proof of why capitalism, without controls, doesn't work for the majority.

If employers are allowed to set wages, move offshore and have a never ending supply of job applicants. Wages will drop and drop. Until the voters realise voting in a Government that will subsidise them is the only alternative. Whart is inevitable is the old style Republican Party is dying.
