Name any county in the world where you don't pay more than a dollar to anyone for a dollar's worth of work? Other than china where prisoners do all of the work and are taken care of by the communist state.

In case you haven't noticed, all these countries where employers pay more than a dollar for a dollar's worth of work are filled with people complaining that there aren't enough jobs.

Before the First World War, it was considered normal for an employer to pay his workers no more than the raw cost of those workers' labor. I find it interesting (and it's no coincidence) that you never saw people clamoring for "jobs" at presidential campaign appearances before that time, either.
