You mean the pensioners that feed off the Asian Economy and don't give a darn about the fact that the next generation are struggling?Trump derived his original fortune because his Dad gave it to him.
The rest he derived from overextending and bankruptcy.
Hillary wants to raise the minimum wage to make a healthy middle class which will make a healthy economy.
Until you boneheads stop voting for Republicans, it WILL GET WORSE.
Right, we would have a great economy if we raised the wages for 3% of our entire workforce. Yeah, that will save the world.
Trump had a good start and made it much greater with his work and investments. Trust me, not everybody can handle money. We lost several customers because the owner died and left the company to one of their children and they ran it into the ground, or otherwise became too old and sold the business to their kids who eventually ended up closing the business.
I have a personal story of a person who won the lottery. She danced out of the company she worked for singing how she'll never have to work another day in her life. She was back at that company less than two years later begging for her job back. In fact, there are books written how lottery money destroyed people's lives.
I bet you're one of those people that think when you increase costs on a business, the business owner just digs deeper into his own wallet and forks out the money. When you increase costs to a business, they pass that cost down to their customers or they consider investments in automation.
Raising minimum wage increases wages for all.
Automation will not increase until technology increases. That isn't going to happen anytime soon.
It doesn't increase the pensions that millions of Americans are living on, but it will increase the cost of everything they need to survive.
