Even it if it were to "pay to the extent possible," we would be better off than what seems to be the current standard of "pay as little as possible" ... the extreme of greed—clearly evil under the ethical values of our Judaic-Christian culture—of the for-profit business model of minimizing costs and maximizing profits ... and the basis of all fraud.
I am not against private enterprise. Rather, I believe private enterprise and its fair rewards are the most productive economic engine for humanity yet developed. I simply hold that the business transaction should be based on reciprocity with a fair exchange of value, and not on fleecing the other party.
Ethical rules of fairness and justice are relatively simple. Robert Fulghum's book title. "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten" says it in a nutshell.
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
