We don't need to moralize everything when we can simply recognize patterns that work vs. patterns that don't work. And underpaying people definitely is not the way to get the results you want. You may not like the reasons for WHY they work or not, but that is not relevant to WHETHER they work. When I made minimum wage working at Subway, I would sneak extra sandwiches for myself here and there. I didn't strictly NEED them to physically survive, but hey -- I'm busting my ass for $7.25, I'm gonna pay myself a little bonus here and there. No one's watching, so I'm going to decide what's fair for a change. Now I make much more than that. I no longer steal sandwiches from my employer. I think this is the pattern for the great majority of people.
