You do understand that times change over decades, and sticking to old ways do not match up with changing times.
This is the same nonsense even Libertarians use with "less government", failing to recognize that we are a representative government, and there is no way America could function today if we only had the original 13 states.
If prices go up, you cant continue to screw workers over. Wages have to increase if prices increase. It would be even worse if say today, workers were making the same wages as say 1910. For the past 40 years, although there have been wage increases at the federal level, the fact still remains even with those increases, wages are not meeting the cost of living. You cant continue to do that long term. It is simply going to destroy our three class system, and end up with Pre Great Depression conditions.
You have the stupid mentality that we should stick to rotary phone laws when we have cell phones. That is how you are stupidly treating wages.
FYI it is simply cheaper to pay livable wages that meet the cost of living than to do what we currently are. If the individual or family can pay their bills GUESS WHAT, they don't have to turn to government.
The only reason the rich sell this crap is it is great for CEOs and shareholders. It does nothing to improve the lives of workers. If "let the rich do anything they want" always worked, nobody would be complaining.
Sorry, but there is no point in having a pluralistic society, or voting, if only one sect of a society has a monopoly on government.
Minimum wage does not mean a living wage. minimum wage was the rock bottom show up with a pulse and hold this broom, and try and not hurt yourself wage given to weak minded people as a token that slavery was a thing of the past. However if you wished to work for less a job in agriculture would always suspend any and all workers rights. however if you want to make more you had to earnit. here's an idea get off your lazy asses and learn a trade, most trade job double collage jobs now. time to wake up and go to work rather than taking 10 years off working a crap job and demanding to sustain yourself till you finally decide to clock in to a career.
Nobody is looking for a handout. I am sick of that bullshit. Nobody is claiming you should pay a dishwasher the same as a neurosurgeon.
If you'd do some research on our allies who are far more stable, you'd know the pay gap is nowhere near as bad as it is here.
You cannot simply keep exploding the gap between the top and the bottom. It is no different than trying to stretch a rubber band beyond it's capacity.
