Why do democrats hate poor black people and want them permanently on welfare?

There is lots of evidence that too much inequality slows an economy:
Reducing income inequality would boost economic growth, according to new OECD analysis. This work finds that countries where income inequality is decreasing grow faster than those with rising inequality.

Inequality hurts economic growth, finds OECD research - OECD

Well how does one reduce pay inequity?

Well we should put a stop to CEOs giving themselves constant raises I suppose. I'd also like to see corporate taxes used as an incentive to give raises.

 

[Brain357]

That is how it should be. Shame sometimes CEOs collude to hold down market wages:

Thank you for going out of the way to prove that the system works. Which of those folks worked for minimum wage?

How do you mean the system works? Because we caught these few and fined them? For every CEO involved in this few will actually be caught.

So in other words, have government run everything. And you called me a Communist?

And how would a CEO making less help the little guy?

No, the government would run nothing. Because we have corporate taxes now, the government is running those companies? Seriously?

It would decrease inequality which would increase economic growth which is good for everyone.

Well how does one reduce pay inequity?

A fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage competes favorably with the cost of social services.

A fifteen dollar minimum wage will end pay inequity?

It will reduce pay inequality to that extent.

Social services pays out about fourteen dollars an hour by comparison.

There is no reason to subsidize the rich through underpayment of minimum wages.

What happens to all other wages increase an equal percentage above the $15.00? What happens to the worker, now being given $15.00 per hour, in two or five years when they are back on the bottom of the pay schedule and everything that was unaffordable before, is unaffordable again and they need food stamps, etc.?

Shareholders will ultimately make the decisions for X company...productivity and profitability will influence the direction and decisions made....broom pusher Juan and whether or not he can support his family will not factor...sorry.

Self employed and in 40's to give you a clue. Very well schooled in economics.

Inflation happens; in the mean time, there is less "pay inequality" and our minimum wage competes favorably with the cost of social services.

 

[Brain357]

Not my favorite idea, but lots of support for an increase in minimum wage, though not to $15.

Point being, you would end up back where you started. Then you'd be asking for $20/hour, then $30/hour. If you don't want to improve your skills you don't move up the ladder.

You want people to work hard and just be happy they have a job rather than share in the success.

My guess is that you also believe that these workers, sharing in the success will also share in the failure or bad times of the business. Is that true? Or should they share in the profits but not the losses?

As you hopefully know, this has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with inflation.

You're dodging the question. Why?

 

[Papageorgio]

Sorry but you are wrong. Socialism is a failure where ever it has been. Socialism depends on no greed, man is inherently greedy. Socialism always has the elite.

You don't know what socialism is. The US has a mixed-market economy. Socialism is like Palmolive, you are soaking in it.

I do know what socialism is. Why do you think I don't?

Nothing but diversion, because you have such knowledge?

The US has a mixed-market economy. Socialism is like Palmolive, you are soaking in it.

I never said differently, you are obviously unable to comprehend the English language, I hope you one day master it.

lol. nothing but diversion? A mixed-market economy is part socialism and part capitalism.

Again, did I say differently? You seem to have comprehension issues claiming diversion when there is none as I agreed with you, yet my agreeing with you is considered a diversion.

Obviously they do. They are the ones who get laid off.
