中國人的勞動价值和生命价值（上下集）
沈陽民工居住的工棚。(法新社2005年圖片)
廣州何先生來電，討論中國城鄉的勞動者為何所得的工作報酬那么低？
何先生認為，除了中國本身產業結构和深層基礎所造成的高消耗低產出和普遍存在的質量低劣、競爭能力不強的問題之外，其實更重要的還是在于這個制度不是一個講公平合理和追求社會正義的制度。
何先生舉出不少事例來說明，中國統治者的施政導向，是嚴重地向資產者傾斜的。這個政權刻意壓低勞動者的薪酬，以提高它所需要的那种“國際競爭力”。這是一座畸形變態的“世界工厂”。
主持人特別指出，中共政權不單要壟斷權力，而且要壟斷經濟利益和國家資源。這就是為什么“私產入憲”之后，連最基本的資產元素“土地”依然不能私人擁有終极產權，“最高使用權”為70年，而“國家”仍是土地產權的擁有者。
何先生說，一個极權制度要香火延綿，最好的辦法就是讓人民在基本生存線上生息，始終存在溫飽問題的心理威脅，這樣的人民是不會有心思去革命和改變社會的。

主持人認為，一個民權貧弱的國家，衹是貴人和富人的樂土，卻是黎庶草民的牢獄。記得美國總統肯尼迪就職演說時如是說：“當一個社會讓窮人看不到希望，那么對于富人來說，將同樣是絕望的。”當下的中國正是這樣一個無望的社會，它在滅絕窮人的希望時，也同時在斷送著整個國家的生机和活路！ - http://www.rfa.org[..]d@carfield-P5KR:~/Public/weblog/society$

廣州失業工人黎先生來電，說起城市失業率奇高，以及失業群体的民生困苦。 -
黎先生說，不但像他這一輩的工人失業，現在連青年也找不到工作，許多青年人欺騙家里，成天出外游蕩，而后告訴家人說上班去了。而又有一些青年人因為沒有工作，情緒不穩，經常和家里發生爭吵，結果离家出走或者輕生、自殘……
黎先生在中秋節之前好不容易找到一份散工，是搬運月餅盒子箱子，干下來他就深有感触，以前工人有職業保障和福利保障時，所干的工作量，大概衹是現在打散工的四分之一、甚至五分之一。“大鍋飯”時代固然不好，但現在現在打工所受的壓榨，令好多人“過勞病”和“過勞死”。
主持人說，國民党“舊社會”的工人即便命如牛馬，賤如螻蟻，也還有組織工會的權利。自中共建政，便封殺了一切民間社會的存活空間。“六四”之后，陳云更一言九鼎：“決不容許他們用我們當年推翻國民党的做法來推翻我們。”專制政体的鐵枷也就百上加斤。立法、行政、司法三權已屬“党權”，第四權新聞輿論亦系“党權”，第五權本為“民權”，但中國人民非但無此權利，而且它從名義到實質，也被“党化”了──從工青婦到所有的民間社團，都必須接受共產党的絕對領導才能苟且生存。一個沒有民權的國家，人民衹能永遠是俯仰由人的弱勢群体。
本次節目還播出了湛江黃先生的來電。他談了對自由亞洲電台粵語部幵播八周年的感想。
