Gator is right the market will only bear what the market will bear. When the price gets so high that people will not pay it, it comes down at the profit level for the producer, someone else does it for cheaper and undercuts or the market completely dies off.
Gator also makes a great point about being self sufficient and controlling the part of the market you feed into. Grow your own if you want tomatoes that bad or just do not eat them untill the market gets back to a level that you are comfortable with.
I have no issues with browns coming in and taking low paying jobs to produce goods that I want to pay low prices for. This is a trickle down economy on the micro level. Producers make profit and then spend said profit on consumables spreading the money to others. They likewise give that money to their work force so they can have a smaller peice of the pie and some of it goes to the government in the form of taxes. On a macro level globalized economics deal with outsourcing and insourcing but still have the benifit of lowered production cost for producers who will put that money back into the micro localized economy.
Fair wages are minimum wages. If you did not do what it takes to break out of the lower bracket then I do not feel sorry for you. Obviously this person is not exactly great with money, what are they really going to do with more money. mis-manage it the way they have in the past with their minimum wages? Everyone is not supposed to win, everyone is not supposed to be rich, that is for those who have done something outstanding, it is not for those who coast or set par or sub par expectations. And if Americans are to good to do the work, my pocket is damn sure glad that someone from south of the border who has a hard work ethic will pick up the slack.
