I’m going to flip this one around and ask: why are businesses entitled to low-cost labor? In other markets, markets of objects, if you don’t have the funds to purchase something you don’t get to have the thing, and if you attempt to coerce the thing into your ownership, we call that robbery, and prosecute it accordingly. So why doesn’t that apply to human labor? Labor is a product, it exists in a market, and there is a baseline amount of money a person needs to survive - the ‘price’ of a human doing work (compare this to covering the cost of materials, production, etc for some nonhuman item). If companies cannot meet that price, why are either laborers or governments expected to shoulder it so that businesses can get their hands on the human product regardless? Why is human labor constantly sold at a loss?
