rice is essential. should it be more expensive than caviar?

We're comparing people's ability to survive with the price of mass produced food?
That isn't the argument. The argument is that they should be paid a living wage, not that they should be paid more than anybody else.

Oh, yeah, and every 10 years the markets crash because they've managed to repeal banking regulations or have accumulated too much risk to survive a significant downturn. Then the federal government bails them out?
