This sort of trope has always been interesting to me. DU has always held, for example, that Republicans would love to kill liberals on sight "if it was legal." In other words, the only thing supposedly stopping us bloodthirsty, murderous, irredeemable racist scumbag psychopaths is that it's illegal. Weird, huh?
Now we see the claim that if companies could have free labor, they'd take it. To which I say: no shit. Of course they would. And? Then what?
I think it's time for MineralMan to rethink his material.
