Well that is a pro union labor movement viewpoint.Mostly, because the real producers are working folks who watch the 1%er who don't produce jack shit take the fruits of their labors.
One more time. 1% control 43% of the wealth.
They do not produce 43% of the physical labor.
And in the absence of those with the resources to open and operate business, there is not need for labor.
You wanna know why more people with the means to start a business choose not to do so?
Because of pricks like you who feel as though a job and a set amount of money for the performance of said job, is an entitlement.
Because assholes like you demand they spend THEIR money to provide jobs then have to listen to malcontent jerks like you criticize every decision made by the owner.
So now you will reply with something stupid such as "well, we don't need people like that owning businesses."....Stow it. In fact, shove it.
Again, guy, jobs are not created by rich assholes starting businesses.
Jobs are created by consumers having demands.
Hence- good pay = more demand = more jobs.
It's really pretty simple. But you mopes on the right have convinced yourselves that the enterpenuer fairy will come down with his copy of Ayn Rand, and all we have to do is let them fuck working people just a little bit more, and prosperity happens.
And we've been doing it since that senile old fool Reagan, and it hasn't happened yet.
In fact, we had our best performance under Bill Clinton, who rose taxes and the minimum wage.
Genius, if a product does not exist or a product garners no interest from the marketplace, there is no need for labor.
Products must be invented, marketed and then when the marketplace accepts them, only then is there a need for production.
Same goes for services.
Like it or not, labor is a commodity. And in many instances, labor is a cost and a liability.
Your blind loyalty to government is evident in that you believe a society can be taxed into prosperity. Newsflash, it has never happened. Nor will it ever.
You keep blaming Reagan for the downfall of big union labor.
Nice try. The fact is union membership peaked in the early 60's.
At that point union membership began a steady decline.
