Capitalist: I firmly believe in demand and supply economics. That is why I raise my prices all the time!

Also capitalists: I refuse to raise my wages in response to a low supply labour market for my labour demands. I will instead lobby the government to let me hire wage slaves that I can abuse from overseas labour markets where living costs are much lower.
