Not everyone can be at the top.
It's hilarious that you don't see what your minimum wage solution does - it puts more people at the bottom....
You bitch and whine that employers don't pay people better - then by raising the minimum wage effectively put more people at the bottom.
Those folks that were making 15 bucks an hour before that became minimum wage are now minimum wage earners....
And you REALLY expect that an employer who now has more overhead in wages is going to raise the wages of those who were turned into minimum wage earners to make up for it?
Jesus you are fucking stupid.....
Do you have any idea how far apart the "top" and "bottom" are? Also this does nothing to address the logic that we can make the "bottom" higher, and better, than it currently is. You're like a talking point... have you ever really thought critically about this topic before? It doesn't appear you have.
Most corporations pay their executives several million per year, the CEO tens of millions. Then the workers who actually create the value of the company will get the least amount. McDonald's has the largest share of workers on "welfare programs" than any other company, with Walmart in second place. They keep all the revenue at the top, then complain and cry when workers demand more as if they haven't horded it this whole time. This doesn't seem like the wrong way to structure things? You take the system as it is for granted, or even worse, you think it's just. When it so clearly is not.
But you go ahead and put your fellow worker down. They've trained you so well! The millionaires love it. Now roll over! Bark for the ruling class! Good boy! Want a treat?
Oh zark off..
You think a job is a fucking magic piñada that you can keep beating with a stick to get "mo money".
An employer doesn't hire your lame ass to keep you fed and watered (as you obviously believe). They hire people TO MAKE MONEY!
Gotta problem with that you ignorant peon?
No problem - START YOUR OWN BUSINESS - and you can pay all the slackjawed idiots that show up looking for a job top wages.... Don't forget a 401k and comprehensive medical......
You'll be rich in no time.....
