If republicans are too immature to admit the low wage problem can't be fixed through forcefully raising the minimum wage, how exactly are we supposed to boost wages? Since the recession there has been a significant decrease of high wage jobs and a significant increase of low wage jobs. How do we fix poverty if 10s of millions of Americans HAVE NO CHOICE but to accept low wage jobs?

Let's pretend republicans had full control over this issue. What would republicans do to boost wages? I want specific answers. Don't give me crap like "undo democratic bullshit of the last 6 years derp derp derp". I want SPECIFIC AND DETAILED steps on how we are supposed to boost wages in this county if raising the minimum wage isn't an option.

Well gee with the way wages are people can't afford to learn a trade. Even if more people were qualified, such jobs would be highly competitive from the millions of low wage workers.
 
What wage problem?
You mean the 10s of millions of Americans who make less than $15 an hour? The fact that 40% of the nation's wealth is owned by the top 1% of earners?

Ever heard of On the Job Training? Better known as OJT? Get paid while you learn.

Good god dude try to pay attention. Low wage jobs outnumber decent wage jobs. That means millions of people have no choice to accept low wage jobs. On top of that, who exactly are fast food companies supposed to employ given that everyone in your perfect world would become over qualified?

How about you keep up. Do you think plumbers started off knowing all they know and making the money they make on day one? No they started at the bottom and worked hard to learn their skill.

Yeah.

What's the problem?
If you're just going to go into denial mode like a child I am not going to bother with you.
Promise?

I asked you a question you can't really answer. Envy and handouts are not an answer.
 
I have an idea. Just give the poor more money for no other reason than we need to get their votes. We will pretend to care about them, and we will fill their heads with the false notion that there is some Utopia out there.

Most importantly, we will just give them more money for nothing.

I mean other than something like giving companies tax incentives and let the market place dictate how much people get paid. Cause creating a competitive market place where employees can work for the company that offers them the best benefits certainly does not make sense to morons on the left who cannot and will not understand that the world is not fair, and the most practical system that works in a monetary system in free market enterprise.

This folks is why things will never change. Not until the MSM actually reports the truth rather than pushing their socialist agenda. The fucking moron OP did not come up with this himself. This is the shit that is fed into his pathetic simple head. He then comes on here and presents pathetic rhetorical childish questions in order to make some pathetic socialist point. He displays unbelievable ignorance, all while thinking he is making a point. Yes, he actually thinks he is so smart and those of us who understand the economy and pay our own bills are the fucking rubes.

He has no clue that over regulation has stifled growth and companies cannot raise their wages. It becomes a systemic problem and it reflects in the stagnant wages. What does the OP want to do? He wants to just.....give poor people more money for no other reason other than he thinks all corporations are greedy and evil.

He has no clue that most corporations would gladly pay higher wages, if what they are paying for reflects in higher production.

I FUCKING HATE LIBERALS.

So you are suggesting that everyone learn the skills of plumbers and the like? Nothing about that is feasible. 10s of millions of people would be seeking these trade jobs. You think everyone could? How about those jobs that don't require skills such as flipping burgers? Don't we need those people in order for such industries to survive? Are you content with keeping them as border line slaves?

No I'm suggesting that people learn a skill, that someone wants to pay for, I used Plumber because that's what I do.
Would you pay a person 20.00 an hour if the job wasn't worth 20.00 an hour?

Dude you are such an idiot. No one on the left I have ever heard of is suggesting we just give poor people money you dumbshit. You just entertain that assumption because it makes it easier to demonize the left. The last time someone could make a decent living off of $10 per hour was the 1960s. Currently 17 million people make under that. I know you cons are too stupid to understand inflation but it is a real thing.

Regulations are necessary. Mitt Romney, republican AND successful businessman said that during the primaries. Don't believe me? Look it up. Oh and in reality regulations have only cut GDP by 2% per year. The investment class is doing better now more than ever.

You're living in a fantasy world. I am talking about a wage crisis affecting 10s of millions of Americans. Your solution isn't realistic. Yes obviously learning a trade is a good idea for some but it hardly fixes the bigger problem.

Billy, there is no fixing this problem. The thousands and thousands of manufacturing jobs that paid pretty well and didn't require much education beyond basic educations, those jobs are gone. Done. Not coming back.

This is all part of the declining standard of living that we are seeing and part of the break up of our society into the haves and have nots.

But asking one of these Republican dolts on here how to fix anything is futile.

I wouldn't let Big rebbie unclog my toilet. And he's says hes a plumber.

Nothing goes up forever. No society stays on top forever. And the ultra wealthy have long term goals to meet. And they don't care how long it takes. They have heirs. And patience and more money than God.

If you have kids, it is YOUR responsibility to make sure they get an education in a field that will allow them to be in the haves. If you have kids and they don't get educated, they are fucked long term.

Our society is/has become exactly what Republicans claim they want. A society where you better pick your self up by your own boot straps and move on or find yourself under the heel of someone else's boot.

Was that increase in productivity due to the skill level of the laborers or was it due to technology that allows unskilled laborers to produce more?
