The largest employer in my county is shellfish industry. The people there work shucking oysters for minimum wage and it is horrifying work to me..they work furiously fast with sharp knives and slippery oysters. Or they go out at night on the oyster beds, where they could get lost, or they could get stuck in the mud, or at least they are doing back-breaking work at minimum wage. Who should they support? The injured Iraqui veteran? Yes. The 90 year old incontinent, bedridden woman? Yes. The two-year old orphan? Yes. The drug-addled state college student who sucks up state funds and makes taking a bus a disgusting experience? I would rather they did not have to. mg
