> Points:

> 1. Are the poor to blame for their plight?

In most cases, yes. They have avenues to escape poverty. Earn more than you
spend. it is that simple.

> 2. Are the rich deserving of their position?

No matter how the wealth is gathered, if from legal means of course, the
person ammassing it is deserving of it. If one person works either harder,
or smarter, or is luckier than the next person they deserve to keep what
they have earned. This is not an anthill her, nor are we talking about Cuba
or North Korea. If you are more productive you get to keep what you earn.

> 3. Employers; how much rights do they really have?

They have the right to offer work and to take that work away. They have the
right to set minimum production rates and wages. If that is not acceptable
to the workers the workers do not have to work there. That is an
oversimplification, but the market will determine what is equitable.

> 4. Employees; how much rights do they really have?

Workers have the right to work for whomever they want, as long as that
employer is willing and able to hire them. Workers also have the right to
quit if work rules, wages or other factors are not to their liking.

> 5. Do union benefit anyone?

Unions are a great benefit to their leaders and to the USA Democratic Party,
the only two entities that benefit from the dues paid each month by the
members.

> 6. Is permanency in employment a right?

No, and that is not an oversimplification. No.

Child labor laws exist only in environments that can afford them. In poor
countries, where parents breed like the proverbial rabbit, children must
work to earn their keep. Parents cannot afford to feed the children they
create, the rights to do so never being questioned at all.

People who decide to work at a place that offers a company town, company
store, company housing, do so at their own risk. To live one must make sound
decisions. If one makes a bad decision they have to pay for it.


> 7. Slaves, do they exist, and who are to blame for them?

Come on now, where does slavery really exist? It exists in countries with
too many children (irresponsible parents again). Children and unfortunately,
women, become commodities. Other than that one would have to look at
traditional Muslim countries such as Sudan, Yemen, and other African
backward, backwater, Allah-worshiping lands where actual slavery is being
practiced today.
