They throw poor people out of homes, let the uninsured die, wage useless wars for profit, poison and pollute the ecosystem, slash social assistance programs, gut public education, trash the global economy, plunder the U.S. Treasury and crush all popular movements that seek justice for working men and women. They worship money and power” — Chris Hedges

Short Link to this Quote:
In this quote, former British Prime Minister Harold Wilson is highlighting how wage increases for workers can contribute to rising prices for consumers. His point is that when labor costs go up due to higher wages, companies often pass those increased costs on to customers in the form of higher prices.
So while a wage hike may help workers afford more, it can also feed into inflation and the rising cost of living. Wilson’s message conveys the complex relationship between wages, prices and economic growth – what benefits earners may burden spenders, showing how these macroeconomic factors are interlinked.

“The housewife is an unpaid worker in her husband’s house in return for the security of being a permanent employee: hers is the reductio ad absurdum of the employee who accepts a lower wage in return for permanence of his employment. But the lowest paid employees can be and are laid off, and so are wives. They have no savings, no skills which they can bargain with elsewhere, and they must bear the stigma of having been sacked” — Germaine Greer
