Quote:JJ I get that accountants are more skilled and therefore will be remunerated better. But why should any job pay poverty wages? Why would you want people to be in poverty.


As for accountants I'm lucky to be part of a profession which restricts the labour market via professional bodies. Also not having free market immigration because there are millions of accountants in the likes of India who are also highly educated.

 

Most of us free market advocates are also for strong immigration controls to protect the American workers. You can't, for instance, lay off your entire IT staff and replace them with H1-Bs like Disney recently tried to do. That is a legitimate use for government regulations. We aren't anarchists as many seem to believe.
