American workers' wages stagnant, even in a great economy: why?

[Silver]

You are free to do so in your business... There are those advocating that this is a good business model. I think that you should try putting your money where your mouth is.  Of course, you will have to compete with countries like China as well.

And I will not respond any further because that is not an answer. It is a scapegoat to derail from the real problem, which you fail to recognize. But by all means, continue as you were.

American Workers Just Got a Pay Cut in Economy Trump Calls Great


As I've said countless times, the average worker suffers under the American economic model. Things have to change on a fundamental level. We know that wages have failed to keep up with inflation, and that the top 10 percent of income earners have seen magnificent gains while the rest of us have seen, statistically speaking, nothing. It seems Republicans (and moderate Democrats) have conditioned workers to be content with this reality. This has been an issue for over 30 years. Through Clinton and Obama too.

I align with the political philosophy of social democracy. It's time to take note from its success in the Nordic countries. The average American deserves more. Congress (Dems and Repubs alike) almost unanimously passed the disgusting and highly unnecessary $700 billion to our military complex while we bicker about whether or not we can afford a universal healthcare system. Repulsive.

Because the GOP has been masters at throwing crumbs at society getting them to focus on the short term feel good. Dangle the carrot on the hamster wheel, knowing they don't see the long term bubble the sort term feel good does.

Yes. There was more balance in the tax system decades ago BEFORE the tax cuts.

Ok... so not your business then. I would say, that if I’m getting paid equally to others (or not much more), I would be working less, with less stress, and less responsibility. Or looking for another job that paid more. This is a big problem with unions. They have had their place, but they have driven companies into the ground as well.

Unions, not a fan and not at all to what I am referring. I would never trust an organization that required money from me in order to protect my interests.

No, I am for a complete eradication of the monetary system. No bartering either. I believe people will work at helping a community survive when all are equally on the same level and all equally are treated the same and all are equally receiving the same minimal comforts for happiness and survival. It is the greed to have something someone else doesn't that separates us and makes people lazy to the point where we realize not working for a corrupt system is better than supporting it for a lifetime of grief and no proper recompense.

Well it seems that these conversations always seem to go to the 1%. It seems more about greed and wanting something that someone else has. It’s more about what other people have. You could also vote with your wallet. Support business that pay better. If you don’t want to risk your money, and put in the effort yourself to give it away.

Wanting to survive is not greedy and no it's totally about what you don't have the ability to stably live .Voting with your wallet is mythology and you continue to lie about kits position .

Leave it to roads to defend rich greedy motherfuckers.
