This is what's going on in America folks, the inhuman exploitation of the working class, yet people turn a blind eye to this inhuman criminality?

Question

If you can watch this horrific documentary of the exploitation of these workers and how the system is up to abuse the desperate and disadvantaged in this so called "greatest country on earth" maybe your heart can feel compassion and quit voting into power politicians who don't care about the poor and struggling, and only serve the interest of the rich and powerful.

Minimum wage jobs were never meant to be able to support a household. These jobs were for the moms who wanted some extra spending money, money to save for that summer cabin at the lake, or for a rainy day fund. These jobs were meant for older kids working summer jobs to save for college. Dad was still the breadwinner by selling insurance, being an accountant, working a stamping mill at the tool and die works, being a dentist, etc. THOSE jobs were meant to support a household.
As inflation ratcheted up faster than wages or promotions, and as people simply wanted more "stuff" and to "keep up with the Joneses", more and more households became "dependent" on a 1.5 or 2 income stream budget.

In the meantime, the minimal-skill-required jobs earn a minimal wage. I know - I had one- my first "real" job. I was a sales clerk in an art store. Within a couple of months, my initiative was recognized and I became a department head for drafting equipment (this WAS way before CAD-CAM). A few months after that, I was the ordering/inventory contact for about 1/3 of the products in the store.. And a couple of months after that, I was a "closer" for the owner. I no longer had the minimum wage.

I am not a rich man myself and what these people see as minimum wage I don't even make anything near that and yet I disagree with this being a problem that needs solving.

We tried communism and it failed miserably, the countries that claim to be communist right now are only that by name but have switched to full dictatorship and a system that brainwashes people and keeps them poor and hungry.

I believe that you are what you make yourself out to be and that his harsh but absolute.

If a woman is gonna be a waitress all her life the yeah she's not gonna live the high life but nothing ever stopped her from opening her own diner and using the income to open more expanding a food empire just like McDonald's it started as just one burger joint and now the entire planet id filled with branches

Instead of sitting there complaining about middle class or being poor each person as an individual has the opportunity to go into a certain craft and expand his or her income. You don't even have to own your store, if you're really good at a certain job you can freelance in it and make a killing.

I’ll watch it some time, but I most likely won’t take the same stance as you. There are a lot of issues taking place in our economy right now, but it’s not just because capitalism is evil. Democrat social programs are designed to keep people in a endless cycle of poverty and the statistics show this. These are statistics based on decades of data. It’s based on incentives and disincentives.

I think we need to end the cronyism, deregulate, and stop creating stagflation by depreciating the US dollar so drastically. This would allow people to get ahead and actually benefit by participate in the economy The Democratic argument with economics is normative rather than factual. It’s based on morality rather than what factually works and what doesn’t. It’s incredibly frustrating watching politicians make these bold economic claims based on emotion and baseless promises. The people’s ignorance is constantly exploited. It’s all to create the framework that capitalism is evil and socialism is a morally correct utopia. It’s all an attempt for world leaders to grab more power.

You seem to be asking a lot of questions regarding economics as of late. I study finance and markets every day. I’ve taken a number of classes. It’s really interesting stuff if you ever find the time.

You can check out this lecture series audio book on audible if you’re interested. This is a reputable professor with no agenda or bias. He just breaks down economics in a really interesting and logical way. It will open your mind.

I think it’s inhuman to take money from me in the form of taxes and give it to illegal
Immigrants and families who have been on welfare for generations.

“For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat. For we hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work, but busybodies.”
‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭3:10-11‬ ‭ESV‬‬
Scripture is clear on this matter. Whoever is able to work not only should but shouldn’t eat if they refuse to do so.

How is it just to take food of my plate and my families plate to give to foreign nationals and the chronically lazy.

The time is long past to stop blaming imaginary racism and capitalism and for everyone to take responsibility for their lot in life and change what they don’t like instead of acting like a beta sissy and demanding everyone else pay their way in the world and that they’re owed a living. I hate the term but that’s how betas act. They need someone to hold their hand because they’re powerless chumps who are incapable of figuring out how to do for themselves.

They don't realise it there's a reason why the founding fathers only wanted landowners to vote. People who don't have any ties do not be allowed to vote there just going to vote for free stuff that makes it harder for everyone else to live because of high taxes. The politicians use these people to get into power very easily because you just have to promise some free stuff and now you have like 40% of the votes builtin. Then you go to some rich friends who will find your campaign for special deals with the government like no bid contracts. This allows corrupt politicians to easily get into power they give free stuff to the failures make everyone else pay for it give no bid contracts And regulations that give monopolies to the friends you keep repeating this over and over and that's how you get where we are now. You cannot stop this unless you stop allowing everyone to vote.

This accounts for just 9% of the 1.9 trillion dollars voted in for COVID 19 RELIEF the rest is foreign aid. The W. H. O. got hundreds of millions of dollars?

If you want to get out of poverty in the US do three things 1) graduate high school 2) work 40 hours a week 3) wait until you are 21 and married before having children.

You don't fix the problem by printing more money, just so you know. But yeah, people should vote for people with realistic option on how to solve the problem.

You're a well known right-wing republican sympathiser. Why should we believe you suddenly care about a minimum wage hike?

I agree. That’s why we voted for Donald Trump instead of big business Joe.
