Seattle’s Socialist councilwoman on why capitalism offers nothing for young people

PBS has an interview with socialist Kshama Sawant , a member of the Seattle city council:

There’s no question, though, that at some point, raising wages will make businesses think it’s cheaper to get a machine or go offshore, right?

They cannot offshore restaurant jobs. We have a Dick’s Hamburgers right here, which survives on the business from the school students; you couldn’t offshore those jobs. There are limits to how many jobs can be offshored. But you’re asking a really good question — yes, this is capitalism, and the bosses are looking out for their own interests.

The creepy world of American socialism.
