A Smith: In producing numbers or stats the voices or feelings of any one individual worker is not heard. So if we were to follow your ideology there, what if the employer wanted people to work for say 3.00 per hour at 40 hours per week, the amount is less then what individuals get on social assistance, and if people are not surviving on that amount, how do you figure would survive on wage that is 3.00 per hour.

So in your imaginary world there, do costs such as food, shelter, transportion, clothing and so on, do they come down in accordance with the drop in wages.

Anyways, tax credits do little to help on day to day living costs, when you only get an amount at tax time as most tax credits are non refundable and only lower the amount to be paid.

Can you produce some actual voices of the workers over there that shows whether they are happy or not. Numbers are meaningless.

Those from the grassroots can affect change
