    Just because you don't know about it does not mean that it is not happening.

    Too bad that NONE of that asinine claptrap has any bearing on FACTUAL REALITY!

    That you were unable to provide any shred of credible substantiation for YOUR OPINION is duly noted and thereby leaves my SUBSTANTIATED position uncontested.

    Dubious assertions that don't match up to factual reality.

    America did NOT "create capitalism" it merely exploited it to the point where it causes enormous amounts of HARM to We the People.

    Furthermore having the GREATEST DEBT of any nation is NOT a measure of greatness.

    Neither is DENYING healthcare to millions of Americans a measure of greatness.

    Homeless people sleeping on the streets and a crumbling infrastructure are not measures of greatness.

    Having the most MASS KILLINGS of any nation on earth is not a measure of greatness.

    In effect you have just checkmated yourself.

    If you really wanted higher wages you would support trump and his efforts to move jobs back from china

    If I were a paid spokesperson you can see by my post count I wouldn’t be earning much.

    You created this thread I assume to discuss a living wage. You will not debate the topics, and seem interested in only using this platform to preach your ideals, not being interested in hearing the flaws in your argument. You fail to address the real world examples I present and seem to just want to blame the successful for the failures of others.

    You cannot inflate wages paid without inflating the cost of doing business. You seem to believe business underpay so the C level folks can get rich. I have even provided examples of the income gap that I wish were not there, but am smart enough to know if a person can sell his skill for $2 million a year I should admire his success rather than be jealous of it. I don’t think it’s fair that an athlete or entertainer is paid millions while those that save lives for a living and in many cases with these skills enable these athletes and entertainers to continue making millions, are paid way less. Just doesn’t seem logical or right, but my mom taught me life is not fair.

    you simply don't understand the concept.

    Solving for simple poverty via unemployment compensation, "closes that circuit" for economic purposes; and engages a positive multiplier effect, automatically stabilizing our economy.

    means nothing due to capitalism's natural rate of unemployment;

    the left's solution, is an automatic stabilizer for our economy.

    only because nobody takes the private sector seriously enough to do the right wing; only pursue their own profit.

    A cost of living adjustment so the Poor can afford to pay more in taxes and create more in demand.

    Your one trick pony of inflation, canard; was discredited with QE.

    The Fed, really can handle it, now.

    Wrong!

    Worker payroll are EXPENSES just like raw materials and utilities.

    Profits are the DIFFERENCE between EXPENSES and the SALE price of the goods and/or services.

    The point is, no First World economy can Ever compete with the Third World on Labor costs.

    we really just need a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage, unemployment compensation for being unemployed on an at-will basis in our at-will employment States, and Industrial Automation to help with social costs.

    How about a $500 minimum wage? That is perfect.

    Are you a bot? Your answers seem programmed like a bot, not thought, just the same BS line.
    You better check your economics 101, because it is wrong. And if workers are expenses, then I should buy as cheap expenses as possible that can do the job. An illegal alien can do it for $7.00 an hour, then that is what minimum wage is. There should be no minimum wage anyways. It is an illegal tax that violates the 13th amendment.

    Not a red herring. If $15 is good, $500 would be better. How about $10,000 an hour? That would be great, then they only have to work 1/2 hour a week.
    There should be no minimum wage. We let the illegals aliens stay and they drive the wages down, so lets move to $500 an hour minimum. I mean why break a few businesses when we can break them all! Then who will pay the taxes and government's bloated illegal operations?

    I owe you nothing, you owe me nothing. If I am willing to work for 10 cents an hour is just like liberals say is abortion. Just a deal between the doctor and the woman, or a deal between the employee and the employer. None of the state's business.

    zero taxes would be nice. any more red herrings?

    we really just need a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage, unemployment compensation for being unemployed on an at-will basis in our at-will employment States, and Industrial Automation to help with social costs.

    Or, the Right Wing should stop whining about Entitlement spending and start focusing on where discretionary spending will be cut.
