We're no where near that point where the value of their labor is less than what is required for them to feed themselves, and yet millions of people a year go to sleep hungry, or die of starvation, have their growth stunted, etc.
I am totally not comfortable allowing people to starve. That is why I pay taxes, and I expect them to be fed using that money. And I am downright pissed-off that it's still an issue.
I don't think it's capitalism that you should be directing any undue criticism over "value of labor" when it's currently government that is the cause#1 of hunger/starvation.
#1: They're the cause because they're not fixing it.
