On the other hand, Trump is getting tough on low wages where they hurt American workers the most --
in foreign countries. Trump's revised trade agreement with Mexico stipulates that more than 40
percent of auto manufacturing work must be done by workers who earn $16 an hour. Former U.S.
presidents bought into the notion that outsourcing production to poor countries promotes global
prosperity and equality. True, but low foreign wages undercut American workers. No more.

This was the part that amused me
Amazon and its subsidiary, Whole Foods ... buckled and announced a
minimum $15 an hour wage for all workers.

But Amazon employees lose. Amazon canceled performance bonuses and
stock awards for hourly workers to offset the minimum wage hike. That
replaces a culture where employees who work hard can share in the
company's success with an adversarial situation pitting labor against
owners.

They changed a very successful capitalist "work had and make more
money" with the union concept that everyone will make the same, no
matter how hard they work.

These communist/socialist thinking people still have trouble
understanding there is a finite amount of money in the salary plan and
when you load more into the bottom, it comes off the top. People who
are good enough to earn more money will take their skills to a place
who can pay them for those skills.

Ah, yes, but they earn the votes of the stupid, who think they're gaining something. Of course, they
probably wouldn't have received the incentive awards anyway.
