Amen to all that's been mentioned. In the ideal world, companies don't exploit, aren't corrupt and aren't comprised of a bunch of jackasses. Unfourtunately, this is what happens with a free market. They can charge anything they want as long as there's demand.
There should be a law that caps profit at xxxxx% of production, marketing, machinery etc costs. That way if they want more profit, they'd also have to pay their workers more. [With that there are other complications but essentially it seems to be a good solution to a bad problem]
