About minimum wage

[abaris]

That's the funny thing about it...we hear the complaints about raising the minimum, but when you look at actual numbers it appears that the complaints are coming from an alternate reality.

There are numerous charts showing how productivity and wealth distribution drifted apart - starting in the Reagan years with his trickle down bullshit. Some European politicians picked up on the same bullshit. The results were obvious. The rich earned even more while the middle class dried out. Obvious reason for that. The rich didn't invest their money to create jobs, they took it to the investment bankers or simply sat on it.
