and patents the idea, raises capital, develops an adversising campaign, develops a distribution network, leases a factory, hires someone to design and make the machines that will be used to make the car, works with engineers to come up with an efficient manufacturing process that is simple and straightforward and involves very simple tasks being performed by the factory workers, and then hires workers to do these basic tasks, the same tasks that they would otherwise do at a competing plant but because there is no one more plant they get paid a little more than they otherwise would, and the car is a big hit and its inventor, his investors that took a huge risk on the new car, and the engineers make a huge profit......
Did they make it "on the backs of the workers?"

But cory who defines "exploiting and abusing" if not the workers, thus as long as they have a choice, all they have to do is quit. And yes I know your answer will be "that's easier said than done" but then isn't the answer to that more job creation????
