The hardest working people make the least money.
The Mexican farm workers and the people at McDonalds.
This country is totally fucked up. We are running huge deficits because the Republicans won't raise taxes on the rich by 3%.
its about risk and rewards. burn a burger no big deal. you won't even get fired over it. make a poor investment and you could lose millions of your own money. that's how the game is played. you're free to choose which player you want to aspire to be
yep, only these class warfare liberal assholes. Want the rich to take all the risk, but when their investments pay off and they get even richer. Well then they want to be able to say hey you don't need that much money lets take most of it and give it to the poor.
More bull. Paying the working people a living wage is not taking from the rich and giving to the poor. It's paying the working people what they EARN!!!!! Instead of the rich making all their money off of the poor and then letting our tax dollars buy food for their workers, they should pay for their own workers. Stop subsidizing the rich. That's what we're doing when we provide welfare for their workers because they are too greedy to share their profits with them. The Walmart family is a big example of the greedy making their money off of the poor and the taxpayer picking up the bill by providing welfare for their employees. This is nothing more than institutionalized slavery.
And our government, both the dems and the reps have made it possible with the influx of immigrants without which the rich would be forced to pay more as there wouldn't be enough workers. Remember Americans limit their children to less than replacement value, if we didn't take in more immigrants legally than all the other countries combined, our employers would HAVE to pay the workers more as they'd be more in demand.
No one envisioned that the average workers would be worse off today than in the 60's. They all thought we'd be like the Jetson's by now, with 3 day work weeks. Instead our government, owned by the corporations have made sure that we have institutionalized slavery and the rich can cry foul all they want but they have stolen our countries wealth. They've made their money off the sweat of the poor workers and they refuse to share the profits. Labor is a much smaller percentage of the budget today than it was in the 60's. Only greed can cause the greatest country in the world to go backwards and become a 3rd world country.
I am ashamed of those that claim that the rich "deserve" their 150% increase and the workers deserve their decline in wealth.
