I pay my babysitter $15/hour. She's a high school kid. I can't imagine paying an adult less. It would be immoral and inhuman.

is like trying to ensure slaves are treated fairly. The whole system of slavery was rotten and abusive, just like the whole system of capitalism. The whole system has to come down and be replaced.
