Cheap labor Republicans.

The overall goal of the tax scam?

Cheap labor. It's a central tenet of Republican "philosophy."

Hungry, anxious, uninformed, under-educated, and paranoid people believe that their options are limited.

So they'll work at shitty jobs, in shitty conditions, for shitty wages.

A Republican's wet dream.

Any Rand follower Alan Greenspan said something about the benefits of insecure workers. He said insecure workers don't ask for higher pay or better working conditions, and that's a "good" thing.
