NLA Discussion: voc training the sole purpose of adult ed?

[DEBBYDAM at aol.com]

I have to jump in to challenge the notion that capitalism is rational.  
Instead, I find debates around work in the US irrational in that the issue of 
a living wage is never raised.  How is it rational for CEOs to accumulate 
money and perks at a rate many times over the historical precedents and 
justify paying workers at a wage so low that we, the taxpayers have to 
subsidize it with food stamps and other services so that people will not 
literally starve to death in the richest country in the world in boom times?  
Am I missing something?  Workers at any skill level deserve a living wage in 
any rational society.
