A low minimum wage could deter that possibility though (but probably not). Either way, the robots are going to take our jobs and 99% of people will have to depend on the government.

So, a "geologist" claims to know Exxon Mobil's net income, but is too stupid to read their annual reports? And can't understand the difference between Gross and Net revenue? Damn, you're sad.

I'm not sure if anyone disagrees with that. All my arguments have been against doing it in the way spelled out in the OP.

okay so if they should have been doing that all along, why now are they unable to match it?

only reasons i could think of are mismanagement or not wanting to give back excess profits

I dont believe ANYONE on the misc is qualified to know for a certainty this should happen.

What happens to all the jobs where people only make $3-5/hr more? The jobs that hold the US together...the middle class.

You would need to find a way to PROPERLY compensate every single other person. If you go from 7-8/hr to 15/hr that police offer, teacher, fireman or that 9-5 office worker needs that exact bump. If not 90-100% boost like the minimum wage workers are getting, it needs to be something.

Why do a lot of you want to widen the wealth and poor gap? Thats all this will do.

I will say something needs to be done but Im not about to ramble on about how $15/hr will solve all the problems.

Why do I feel like the misc just lets all that go right over their head.

Is the misc full of people making over $150k/year? Some of you talk about it like its going to save the US and bring balance to everything...or your saying "FUK IT" I make $60/hr, why not give all the poor people $15/hr, its still WAY less then what I make.

You still haven't dealt with the issue that minimum wage increases only impact the middle class.

As I said earlier, the corporations that do have the excess money to be able to give back the excess profits still are not going to do that. You agreed with that. So that leads to prices of everything going up, which leads to minimum wage workers being in the same place as they are now.

2. Corporations won't lose any money or make any less money. They will simply raise prices, the same as they do for any form of inflation.

All that money comes straight out of the middle class who can't defend against inflation and eat the cost. Policies like these are why America's middle class has been shrinking relative to the population for the 70's.
Amazes me people still haven't grasped the definition of cuck yet.

1. Stocks, loans, real estate...you've truly listed the source of nearly every economic hardship the US has faced in the last ~10 years. The ways these systems are used now do nothing but create a debt ridden economy that can barely hold itself together. You also delude yourself into thinking that any money put into the above means aids the economy in any meaningful way. Simply perpetuating the cycle. All avenues for the depletion of wealth from the American economy and people into a few hands. As I said, wealth is accumulated at the top, and the notion of trickle down economics is a fallacy.

2. Wages/prices are already at an unreasonable ratio. An increase in price will do nothing for either problem.


The middle class is being hacked away at both ends; don't delude yourself otherwise. The ceiling is being pushed further and further down, while bits are being chomped at from the bottom. Again, we come back to this notion of trickle down economics that is still so fuking pervasive, because everyone thinks that when it's their time to strike it rich and live "the American dream", they want to keep all of what they have now. The promise of riches tends to cloud people's minds, and makes them subservient to the thoughts of "If and when", as opposed to the "now". Add to this the disparity between wages (not just minimum wages) and the increased cost of living, andthat'swhy the middle class is disappearing.

This entire argument is one for the middle class as well as the lower class. You'd be foolish to think the problems aren't rooted in the same cause.

Ok, so buy organic if you don't like it.

Oh, but that's too expensive? You should get everything you want for cheap? That's not how the world works.

you are talking in circles

we agree they have NO INCENTIVE to do it, but it would be the FAIR thing to do

and corporations (while they do often have advantages when it comes to tax avoidance and government subsidies) are no different in many respects to small businesses

small businesses may have less profit, but they have 1)less people to share that profit amongst and 2)less employees to compensate

I have no sympathy for people who cry about minimum wage. It should stay the way it is. I worked a minimum wage job until i was 23, I worked my ass off for peanuts. I didnt go out and finance a BMW so i can pretend to be ballin. I didnt eat out every day at fancy restaurants, I didnt have a kid while doing it, I didnt dig myself into a debt hole.

I lived pretty ****ing good. I was able to put away $600-$800 away a month, Which is probably more than a decent percentage of people put away.

Which brings me to my point, The wages is not the problem, Its peoples spending habits and stupid choices they make. That is the problem.
I like the tuna here.

I'm not even going to argue over this.

I will just keep watching all the fast food joints replace these protestors jobs with machines. Which i see pictures of on ******** every week.

They burger flipping machines, they got self checkout machines, and now Target has machines that check inventory.

The time they take too protest. They could have been in school, learning how to maintenance the same machines that will replace their Mcburger job.
