Dennis Marks (AKA dmarks), a Conservative individual who hates workers and loves plutocrats, OFTEN spews utter bullshit about low wages being "fair".
For example, the following exchange between Dennis and another blogger where the other blogger calls Dennis on his ridiculous idiocy...
| Other Blogger: As for dmark's oft stated 'fair wage', IMO it is the minimum the employer can get away with: depends on available labor. (7/8/2014 AT 6:13pm). Dennis Marks: It is definitely a fair wage, since both the employer and employee agree on it. And not only is it the minimum that the employer can get away with, it is also just as much the most the employee can demand... it is the mutual agreement point between the two. (7/9/2014 AT 7:28pm). |
The other blogger is telling the truth while Dennis lies. The "mutual agreement" he speaks of usually consists of the employer saying "take it or leave it" and pointing out that there are MANY others who will work for the low wage being offered.
And, to that proposal we usually have a worker saying "that is to low, but I'll take it, seeing as I have bills to pay and will be out on the street if I don't work... for any wage... even an unfairly low one".
The lie in Dennis' laughable "mutual agreement" canard is that people can only "mutually agree" when they have equal power. When there are more workers than positions to fill the EMPLOYER has ALL the power.
That is, excepting a situation where there is a UNION. A union is the only way to guarantee equal power in the employer/employee relationship. People who don't bow down to wealth and side against workers KNOW this to be true. But Dennis DOES these things.
Dennis bows down and worships at the oligarchic altar. His is a religion that says it is a worthy goal to further enrich those at the top (far beyond what they're entitled to) by stealing from those at the bottom (the workers that he hates).
The cherry on top of this putrid sundae is calling this screwing of workers with as low of a wage as possible "fair". It frankly makes me want to vomit.
