American's living Paycheck to Paycheck

Who sets the "fair wage" for you all?

What's the "fair wage" for a doctor in your place, and who says what it is?

What's the "fair wage" for a welder in your place, and who says what it is?

What's the "fair wage" for a school teacher in your place, and who says what it is?

What's the "fair wage" for a auto mechanic in your place, and who says what it is?

What and who, that's what I want to know.

A livable minimum wage is different than dictating what a brain surgeon makes.

You trolling?

What makes you think central planning stops any fucking where?

True, but that's a separate argument.

I believe in lowering business taxes while increasing minimum wage. If it's a pipedream... yea probably it is.

But not every solution involves higher taxes or means you support a Soviet Style economy.

No sense in talking about lowering taxes or raising minimum wage without voter requirements.

Yea, I'm just trying to explain that just because you support a higher minimum wage doesn't mean you're poor or a communist.

Nah, you're just a useful idiot then, for the multinational corporations and unions, who push this agenda through the liberal media.

They appeal to your bleeding heart, you drink the kool aid, then you run out to evangelize to other dingbats of various stripes.

Minimum wage hikes at work.

I'm not going to deny that perhaps my ideas will lead to something worse. I'm not an economist.

But I want what's best for my people, my people being all 300+ million Americans, not just my demographic. And the current trajectory doesn't look good.

Not to mention we overspend tons of money on healthcare because the working poor have to wait until it's an emergency before they can be treated instead of catching it early. What sense does that make?

You can work 40 hours a week and still need government assistance. Or worse, not qualify for it while freeloaders have a better life than you. Is this a good system?

You got any ideas about how something else won't be laden with more freeloaders?

Won't lead to something worse for me, I'm invested in multinationals, so it's not in my interests for you to stop drinking this kool aid, but I'm simply confident you will reject any dissent from it, so I don't think there's much danger in telling you how it really works.

Better healthcare, because I've seen many people with health issues who spend any extra money they get on medical bills instead of bettering themselves.

Higher minimum wage and lower business taxes.

Make work programs for this habitually on the system longer than maybe.... a year.
