raising wages doesn't help anything, it just makes stuff cost more.

I mean, notice that a pair of Nike's keep getting more expensive every year, but they are paying less for raw materials and their workforce than in the earliest years of the company. Sure everything has gone up...but to go from $30 a pair to $175 when you are paying 10 cents an hour as opposed to what was probably $4.00 an hour back in the day?

if thats how you feel don't buy nike, don't work for nike. thats not gonna change the fact that if wages are increased $ for bread will increase.

I used Nike as an example. It's virtually the same for most all manufacturing companies and now a lot of high tech companies sending jobs to India. It's about profit to the company, they don't charge less for their services or give the consumer a break, but they certainly could pass on the savings. I think the government needs to step in with certain items and say you can't gouge like that. For necessary items, housing, food, etc.
