Gee, isn’t that cheapening black lives?
Via Daily Caller:
Cheryl D. Mills, long-time friend and confidant of Bill and Hillary Clinton, is promoting a 23 cents-an-hour wage in the West African nation of Ghana to lure textile and apparel industry companies to invest there even as the former secretary of state advocates a $15-an-hour “livable wage” here.
Mills’ newly formed firm, the BlackIvy Group, LLC., makes the pitch with a powerpoint presentation that was obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
Critics interviewed by TheDCNF charged that the presentation promotes “slave labor” and “slave wages.”
The campaign by Mills’ firm to attract investors to Ghana on the basis of a wage that is only 1.5 percent of the value of the proposed Livable Wage could undermine the former secretary of state’s campaign for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination.
