Cohousing-L Mailing List: RE: hiring labor

[Becky Schaller (bschaller]

Perhaps I'm just dense, but I don't get it.    Is he saying that paying
someone else to work for you always reinforces classism?   Or is he just
talking about manual labor?   Is he saying that paying people is wrong or
that exploiting people is wrong?'
