The rationalizations in the article below are stunning in the ways they justify exploitation. Quotes are from the article, and start with this!

I haven't read the article, but I'm confident the inmates volunteer for the work. This isn't Arizona.

Well Bob, I see it would never cross your mind to start "Paying a fair price for work done!" Try watching one of those old cowboy movies and they will talk about paying "a fair day's wages for a fair days work." But that America is gone.

"Trump recently tweeted that he fired Flynn for "lying to the FBI," contradicting his earlier statements denying he knew Flynn had done anything wrong until he fired him for allegedly lying to Pence."

Good to see some of the evil corporations sharing at least some of their ill-gotten tax breaks.

Considering the tax cuts don't go into effect until 2019, and the corporations don't pay taxes on employee earnings (in other words, these wages can't come from any tax savings), your claim is a bit fantastical.

Crazy, huh?
I am wondering if those who have been opposed to the redistribution of wealth are still secure in that position.

Whenever wealth is shifted by government decisions, it is a "redistribution." Some have argued heavily on this board that "redistribution" by tax reform that favors the masses is wrong. Now that actual tax reform proposes to shift in the opposite direction, I wonder if they still favor the same argument.

The new definition of "polically correct" where sensitivity is replaced with outright fear.
