it is one reason for the movement for a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage.Production for the military has to do with command economics not market economics.There is no explanation for a twelve percent increase across the board. Labor is seperate from goods and services for the military. Maybe you simply, miscalculated. It seems to be a common right wing misunderstanding of economics.In the 80s, I was stationed at Ellsworth, SD. We hadn't had a raise in military pay for 3 years. So to make it up to us, we got a whopping 12% pay raise that year. We were elated. That's the good news.
Now for the bad news. Food went up 12%, utilities went up 12%, Gasoline went up 12% and so on. And I found myself 3 tax levels higher paying higher taxes. In the end, I lost money. They could have kept that raise and I would have been better off. And the Civilians didn't get that 12% raise but they got nailed for that 12%.
Just raising the Min Wage doesn't accomplish a thing. What happens is, the greed factor kicks in and the Rich want that increase for themselves. If you get a min raise from 10 to 15 bucks, the cost of living will go up about 30% and you are now in a higher tax bracket and actually lose money. And what about that poor fool that is making 16 bucks an hour already that doesn't get any raises? He is now paying 30% more for his cost of living as well. Everyone just got poorer while the Rich just got richer.
Unless you do something about the Greed Factor, just raising the Min Wage just doesn't work. And that's another discussion entirely.
No miscalculation involved. The question for the 12% increase in cost of living happening exactly at the same time as we received our 12% increase was asked. Their answer was, they had planned on it all along. They assumed that their answer would be accepted and they were right. Everyone in power just blindly accepted it since they also got their cut. The Working class was sent deeper into the abyss. If you think this was a coincidence then you are either in on it or dumber than a box of rocks.
There is no explanation for a twelve percent across the board price increase. It would not happen in any free market.
In any Free or Fair Market there would not have been a sudden 12% pay increase on the average. The largest employer was the Military in that area who got that raise due to not getting any raises for the last 3 years. The Civilians didn't get anything more than the normal 2 to 3% inflationary raises if any at all. By raising the cost of living to match the militaries 12% pay increase, they just threw the civilian workers under the bus and didn't care. Greed.
For all you self proclaimed Capitalists, there is something to think about.
Not many people want to pay people for not working. Bad idea and I’m a liberalWhat is your opinion of solving for simple poverty via unemployment compensation for simply being unemployed; or, tying the minimum wage to CEO maximum wages.I’ve heard when republicans lowered taxes on the rich it took away the way we regulated corporate greed. We taxed anyone’s income above a certain amount so much they didn’t bother. So they invested all that money back into the business. Gave employees raises and insurance.The video in the OP is one giant Post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy. The driver isn't the relaxing of laws related to mergers and acquisitions. It is because of IRA's, 401K's have added immense pressure on publicly traded companies to force growth by any means possible.
So today CEOs pay themselves like baseball players. They and all their generals get all the money. The shareholders get some and they don’t complain because the coward of directors of your company is a bunch of CEOs of other companies. They are doing it too.
CEO pay is largely stock related. We saw companies during earnngs seasons recently see their stocks drop after they beat expectations simply because it was done on less revenue. Amazon shares aren't $1600+ a share because they pay dividends.
The way I understand it is that when taxes were lowered on top earners, it caused greed.I’ve heard when republicans lowered taxes on the rich it took away the way we regulated corporate greed.

And CEOs stopped worrying about the long term. They only worry about the next 5 years so they can make a fortune. Employees don’t get a cut.
Union employees would have got profit sharing. Today the ceo gets it all.
You are correct. The way things are done today, the MBAs think short term only. The old days of Henry Ford the First are gone. In fact, when Henry Ford raised his workers pay to 5 bucks a day and allowed them to buy the Model T on payments, the other Leaders all called him a Traitor to his Class. What Henry did was siphon good workers from other manufacturers giving him the best of the best and the highest production where he could produce the best product the cheapest and the fastest. He broke all the rules for his "Class" and made Ford come from a failed company to the #1 Auto Manufacturer of the World at the time. He was a long range thinker. His lessons have long since been forgotten.
There should be a cap on corporate greed.it is one reason for the movement for a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage.Production for the military has to do with command economics not market economics.There is no explanation for a twelve percent increase across the board.

If you raise the 15 buck an hour min wage, you are going to have to figure out a way to prevent the greed factor that raises the cost of living the same amount or more. In the end, the workers lose on the deal. Now, address that before you do the min wage raise.

They called Roosevelt a traitor to his class for the new deal.
This is why they bash obama, Clinton or carter. They too are the party for the people. Middle class and poor Americans need to stop voting for the party of the rich because of wedge issues like god, guns and racism.
Every time we try to make things right they cry class warfare but that’s been going on since the day this country was formed. All those liberal programs means us winning. Republicans cutting programs and giving themselves tax breaks is class warfare

We need a National Union. Online, anyone can join and we boycott or pester any companies who don’t do the right thing.
In the past CEOs make 60 x the average worker. Today it’s 300x. Why don’t we say a company should never pay the ceo more than 150x the average worker?
And companies can break the rule. They just won’t get corporate tax breaks.
The other day New Yorkers were crying that amazon left. They blame the politicians for not giving amazon the tax break they wanted. They said it cost 15,000 jobs and that’s true but we can’t give amazon a tax break or we’ll have to give them all that tax break.
If corporations don’t pay taxes who’s taxes will go up?
Anyways, amazon wanted ny city because of the ports, schools, location, etc. well? That costs. If they want to go to Kansas we are very happy Kansas is willing to drop their pants. Maybe more companies will flock to Kansas. If you build it they will come.

We can learn from the CCC and WPA projects. Don't pay them not to work. Pay them to do public works. I hit a pot hole that almost put my truck sideways today. A person with a pickup, a wheel barrow and a shovel could fill that. Instead, we wait until some high paid contractor gets enough potholes to fill that it's worth their while. There are plenty of simple jobs that can be done in public works like that.

In any case, wages must beat inflation.
$58,000 average worker. $15,718,000 the average ceo.
What if in 20 years of inflation ceo pay goes up 400x the average worker pay stays $58,000. Will that be ok too?
Then we are back to the Charles dickens tiny Tim era of a small rich and merchant class and the masses are the rabble or working poor.
Thank God we can vote to regulate free market capitalism and there isn’t anything the rich can do about it other than lie to use through the media they control.
For all you self proclaimed Capitalists, there is something to think about.
For all you self proclaimed Capitalists, there is something to think about.
Capitalism without competition is still capitalism. Monopolies are the natural result of late stage capitalism. This was made clear to you over a century ago.
