Instead of lowering our standard of living so third-world countries can catch up, why don’t the United States, Japan and Korea, and the European Union, require a worldwide minimum wage to do business in our countries?
The minimum wage could be started at 50 percent of the minimum wages in our countries and be required to increase 2 percent every two years.
People in the world wouldn’t have to work for 80 cents a day any more, and they would have more buying power.
Meanwhile, the minimum wages could be increased every two years in our countries as well.
