Paul, I actually couldn't agree with you more. Apparently my post was poorly worded, because I did not intend to question any group's integrity.
I was trying to point out the economic incentive that confronts low wage workers all the time. I consider it a failure of the US economic system that we have sub-standard non-living minimum wages and healthcare and financial systems that put tremendous financial pressures on working class people.
These pressures provide very strong motivation for these people to compromise their values. And some of them do.
'nuff said. Any more discussion along these lines really should be taken up in OMNI.
