Greetings Mr. Freedman. Hope you're well out there. Long time no speak. Are you living in Toronto now or just visiting? I hope you're still distributing lots of strange and beautiful music to the masses. Here's my latest propaganda effort.
We seek to build a trade network of businesses which meet standards of a Living Wage. This means the businesses must pay the workers enough for quality food, clothing and shelter and not required to work more than 40 hours a week and an end to child sweatshop labor. We believe in a Fair Market with standards, and making technological and cultural progress, supporting culture and creating a new global wealth through an intelligent and moral economy.
Our biggest proposal is about third world economics. In the developing countries, workers often earn pennies per day. We seek to establish a global minimum wage. Even if it was only $1.00 per hour compared to $7.00 per hour in America, third world families would be able to climb out of poverty into prosperity, aided by the global economy and provide for their families, allowing their children to attend school instead of working in sweatshops.
If you support the end of exploitation and the honor of being a global citizen, add our friendship and put us on your top 8!
