Why we need a mandatory living wage:

[Dystopia]

I think a good quality of any pro-capitalist person as myself, and as most people (to an extent) is to admit capitalism is by nature imperfect and needs urgent corrections - Capitalism doesn't work by itself, instead a mixed economy with government intervention + capitalism, something that reaches a nice equilibrium - That is something worth fighting more, and it keeps us away from extreme positions.

By pro-capitalism, I don't mean the type of 'greedy, fuck the rest of the world' capitalism, but simply respecting freedom of economy and people's right to form a company and compete in the market - Something I've thought of doing, but I don't have ideas yet.

Not having a minimum wage is completely idiotic, unless it's Sweden or Norway, where unions are so strong that a minimum legal wage is not even a necessity since most people can afford basic human necessities.

“The Koch Brothers Exposed”

The brothers inherited their wealth from their father Fred. The elder Koch made money on oil in the USSR in the 1930s, when he was brought in by Stalin to build pipelines. He leveraged that money to develop an oil business in the United States. Fred became active in the support of right wing causes, most prominently The John Birch Society.

Bullshit artists is what they are.

Those people certainly didn't work hard - But that doesn't mean they can't inherit wealth - It's perfectly legal.
