Tax cuts for the rich, why?

[Toddsterpatriot]

The efficiency has not propelled forward Amazons wages to the extent of job losses caused directly by Amazon.

They're more efficient, they need fewer workers and can offer lower prices.

The only winner is Bezos & maybe a few of his executives.

And all their satisfied customers.

Individualist is codeword for someone who is mentally & emotionally detached & impaired.

Idiot is what you are, when it comes to economics. No code needed.

If we continue lose jobs how are we going to even afford those lower prices?

You as all Induvidualists are basically clueless savages.

If we continue lose jobs how are we going to even afford those lower prices?

Over 90% of Americans once worked on farms.
If we only have 2% working on farms today, how will Americans even be able to afford the cheaper food?

Productivity going up can be good, so long as the workers get higher wages.
That doesn't seem to happen all too much, anymore.

Since the 1970's productivity in the USA is way up, but real wages aren't for the working class masses, ONLY CEO's have seen their wages sky rocket since the 1970's.

A mix of 3 things appear to be to blame, Manufacturing losses due to outsourcing, job competition with immigrants, and the loss of union paying jobs.

All 3 of those things are at least partially, sometimes even fully Capitalist related.

Basically, you're doing everything that lead us here.

The system is broken, we need new ideas, not much of the cr@piness that you've done for the past 40 years that lead us to stagnation, Liberalism, and Multiculturalism.

Productivity going up can be good, so long as the workers get higher wages.

Productivity going up is also good when it gives consumers lower prices.

but real wages aren't for the working class masses,

You're lying.

All 3 of those things are at least partially, sometimes even fully Capitalist related.

Is that why wages are up in Venezuela? No capitalism.

Real wages have pretty much stagnated since the 1970's.

Its pretty visible.
Take 1970 where the average house price was just over $23,000 vs an average income of a family being just under $10,000.

In 2018 the average house price was $240,000 , and the average income of a family was $63,000.

Basically, in 1970 the average price of a house was 2.3X higher than the average income per year, of family, as opposed to the average price of a house in 2018 being more like 3.8X higher than the average income per year of a family.

Well, who can argue with two anecdotal data points? LOL!

Civilization requires taxation.

Does it require taxation to prevent people from freely spending their money in ways that you dislike?

Mostly just British idiots don't grasp it.

I've seen some Polish idiots who don't grasp it.

As if Bezos needs more money, who Bezos has more money than he knows to do with, largely by ridding the country of many of his competitors & shops, which in return diminishes jobs because he took away a ton of jobs & consolidated them into his crappy Amazon warehouses, where he borderline oppresses his employees with watches which time & track his employees, (Something straight out of Orwell's 1984)

Lol, Poles get most things correct, Brits get most things incorrect.

Germans don't get much correct, either.

Western Europeans in general are racial scums, the disaster race.

As if Bezos needs more money,

We should tax him more, because YOU think he doesn't need more money?

Lol, Poles get most things correct,

Based on you, not so much.

So, Bezos needs 109 billion, but the poor deserve nothing.
Especially considering that Bezos is a net job destroyer, not a real job creator.
Talk about a primitive, and idiotic view of the World.

Poles get almost everything correct, its you dubious Western Europeans who seem to severely struggle for rationale, or morals.

Bezos started around 1998, busted his ass and, unlike Gates and the rest of the Silicon Valley scum, never testified before Congress that anyone not from India is retarded.
Amazon almost went bust a few years ago and I personally know several dozen people who run their businesses on Amazon and they own very nice homes.

So, basically we cut out 1 million American jobs, to sustain the 109 billion dollar net worth of Bezos, and a few of his lackeys living in "Very Nice Homes"??????

Brilliant, simply brilliant. (Rolls eyes)

Why not sell the house your parents handed over to you and use the money to start a business?
I do not hold by wealth limitations, especially when Bezos and Jobs proved you can become obscenely wealthy without screwing anyone.

You think taking his $109 billion would bring back 1 million jobs? Why?

Hmm, if we're not going to disable Amazon, then the right thing would be to tax Bezos more to help pay for the debt, or infrastructure, 2 things that are falling apart in this country.

Hmm, if we're not going to disable Amazon,

Why would we want disable Amazon?

I support job creation, and results.
Why should we support a company that helped destroy 1 million jobs in retail?

You should absolutely not support Amazon or any other productive company.

Cuba, and Venezuela aren't particularly poor by Latino standards.

Guatemala, Bolivia, Honduras, Peru , and El Salvador are far more Capitalist, and have much lower standards of living.

Considering that Amazon warehouse workers don't make much more or less than the numerous stores Bezos has collapsed.

We are losing out as a society.

Societal thinking is a bit complex for an Individualist savage.

Considering that Amazon warehouse workers don't make much more or less than the numerous stores Bezos has collapsed.

Wow! Your specific statistics are very convincing.

Societal thinking is a bit complex for an Individualist savage.

Math and economics is tough for a stupid Pole.

Math is tough subject for a Germ-Man Individualist savage, or any Individualist.

Approx 1 million retail jobs lost.
Amazon is definitely a large culprit.

Significant Retail Job Losses At Private-Equity Backed Companies Should Worry Us

Approx 1 million retail jobs lost.
Amazon is definitely a large culprit.

Efficiency does that.

Have you taken any econ classes?

People said the same thing about ice delivery men. One cannot stop progress. How many jobs has the internet killed? Carriage makers were really angry at car manufacturers and candle makers must have hated electricity. Evolution and progress suck.

So, when automation (Robotics / Artificial Intelligence) replaces the majority of jobs, how will the middle class, consumerism, and economy survive without people having the jobs to spend back into the economy?

Central Planning will be necessary, either we tax robots to give the masses welfare in return, or eliminate automation.

We will figure it out like we always have.

First off, the collective job market will crumble with massive amounts of automation.
Simply because consumerism will fall flat.

Second off, My Pawling, NY is far more blue collar, and modest income than Scarsdale, NY, but we have slightly lower crime rates.
That is with us having a sizable Illegal Guatemalan / Illegal Ecuadorian population, and several Bars, and Taverns.

Its definitely without a doubt, largely more of a racial, and somewhat cultural issue.

Poverty might play some role, but I'm skeptical of what portion.

Individualists are a lot bigger idiots than I ever imagined.

If Automation causes a 40% unemployment rate, or 10X higher than our current unemployment rate.

Then consumerism will fall down significantly, and the economy will fall apart.

Economies are actually a collective, where we play a collective role, with consumers helping owners, and vice versa.

Individualists have no value, just a bunch of people too stupid, and lacking empathy in high amounts, that they can only grasp the self.

Truly a philosophy agenda which belongs in the trash bin

Not a heck of a lot of Black people in Pawling, but a bunch over in Poughkeepsie, and Newburgh, and I'm certain some lost jobs due to retail jobs busted due to Amazon knocking out those retail employers.
