erik gets important on NAMBLA, i mean CAFTA

My buddy Erik Love is locked in serious debate with some parrot for the Club For Growth over at "the most important blog...ever".

My favorite part is when his adversary says something about American workers wanting to be "paid more than thier labor is worth". This persistant idea that "the market", a political construct if ever there was one, somehow magically determines "worth" would be laughable if it wasn't so dangerous.

Personally, I agree with the Catholic and Episocal churches, Abraham Lincoln, FDR, Gandhi, MLK and all the others who have argued that given the fact that labor creates all wealth, it is "worth" a lot more than its market price.
