Political Factoid

"No business which depends
for existence on paying less
than living wages to its workers
has any right to continue in
this country.
By 'business' I mean the
whole of commerce as well
as the whole of industry;
by workers I mean all workers,
the white collar class as well
as the men in overalls; and
by living wages I mean more
than a bare subsistence level
-- I mean the wages of decent
living."
  --  Franklin D. Roosevelt
Statement on the National Industrial
Recovery Act
1933
