If people feel they are being exploited in the
workforce enough so as to suggest that the we pay
laborers needs to be changed, they themselves need to
reevaluate what it is that they are doing.  I feel
like I am exploited, I have felt that way in all the
jobs I have held, this is exactly why I chose to go
into business for myself.  That's the beauty of our
capitalist society, anybody can become the capitalist.
 You may claim you don't have the knowlege/resources
to do so, just go into a library or bookstore or even
log onto the internet.  The resources are there for
everyone to take.  According to the Social Security
Administration, 98% of people at retirement age are
working or are depending on other people in order to
survive.  That means only 2% of the people are
financially independant when they retire.  Sure that's
proof our current system doesn't work, but it is
exactly because of our current system that I am taking
a step in the direction of that 2%.
