'Exploit' means to utilize. Thus, anyone who works for anyone else is
'exploited', all raw materials are 'exploited'. If the sort of
'exploitation' that socialists and union members in industrialized
nations complain that occurs in third world nations constitutes income
in excess of the average income, then there is only exploitation in the
imaginations of those who seek to protect obsolescent jobs.
