Blog 7: Wealthy Industrialist

               As a wealthy industrialist of the late nineteenth century I hire many immigrants to work in my factory.  I pay them as little as possible and require them to work long hours and most days of the week.  Some of the workers say they should get paid more for less hours, but that would cost me more money and I would not be able to compete with my competitors.  I also sustain their lives and the workers should be thanking me for giving them jobs.  The reason that many immigrants are in poverty is because they do not work hard enough or never came up with a great idea like me to make a lot of money in such a booming marketplace.
