With only around 500 billionaires in the country

How much money they make is irrelevant to what anybody else makes. Even if they took a huge pay cut (which they shouldn't) and divide that money out to the tens of thousands of employees they have, it wouldn't amount to much and not change a thing.

They could afford to pay enough employees aren't on welfare. Now that would help the economy.

Do you know what else would help the economy? If people took the initiative to make themselves worth more money by learning a trade or getting some sort of skill set. Stocking shelves, moping floors and cleaning toilets are not skill sets. A monkey can do those jobs.

I have a couple I rent an apartment to. Good people and they have been here a couple of years. They are late with rent all the time but I know I'll always get it.

Both work fast food jobs and they work all kinds of goofy hours. So why don't they try to get better jobs? Because they smoke pot, and better jobs usually have drug screenings.

They are in their mid 20's now and wasting their lives simply because partying is more important than setting a path of financial success in life. I don't care because it's their choice. But why should an employer pay them more money simply because of the lifestyle they chose? If they want to do better financially, then they need to quit smoking grass, look for better jobs, and become more productive in life. It's up to them to better themselves financially, not their fast food manager.

The jobs aren't there. If they were wages wouldn't be stagnant.

The jobs are there, it's just that Americans don't want them. They want to stay home on their Obama phones.

Right now in my industry alone, they predict we are going to need 48,000 more workers that employers can't find by the end of this year. That's why employers are turning to foreigners to do the work.

After you get a year or two of experience, you call the shots. You choose where and when you want to work. The job pays pretty well depending on who you work for.

ATA: ‘Driver Shortage’ Likely To Reach 48,000 By The End of The Year

Higher driving costs and falling pay have created a truck-driver shortage that's likely to worsen in the coming years.
American Truck Drivers Are Getting Squeezed Out Of Their Profession - Business Insider

This is what happens when government makes regulation against hard working Americans. But it doesn't discount the fact that thousands of drivers are needed and many good paying jobs to boot. Plus if we could limit the amount of foreigners coming to this country taking our jobs, the pay increase would take place.

Again if the jobs were there wages would go up. Wages are stagnant.

You can thank the millions of cheap laborers for third world countries the Democrats have imported for that.

There aren't enough immigrants to stagnate the worlds largest economy.

They can certainly drive down the wages of the middle class.
Not helping but only part of problem.

The other part of the problem is the taxes and excessive regulation that idiots like Obama have imposed on us.
 
Germany isn't socialist. It's mostly capitalist. I mean pure socialism - no private companies of any kind.

You mean communism. Communism doesn't work, but the USSR lasted longer than 10 years.

So pure socialism is communism? And capitalism is socialism?

You guys don't know the difference between shit and Shinola, do you?

You make very little sense so it's hard to guess just what you mean.

So you can't provide an example where socialism has worked for 10 years?

I already did. I'm not suggesting full socialism is a great idea. I provided an example of what works.
You provided an example of capitalism, but you called it "socialism."

Thanks for admitting that socialism doesn't work.

No, they should sit home on welfare and hope something comes knocking on their door.

As I explained, the jobs pay just fine after a year or two of experience. FedEx pays around $25.00 per hour plus time and a half for overtime. UPS pretty close to the same. Most major carriers pay over $20.00 per hour plus decent benefits. Many of these jobs are local too. What's wrong with that?

Yes and the jobs are in such great demand that pay is falling... You don't make any sense. It's not like anyone can just fill out an application and jump on the road either.

Well soooorrrrry. Yes, you have to put a little effort to start a career. Is that too much to ask of an American today? No wonder we have so many people no longer working.

Jobs, training and experience won't come knocking at your door, you have to take the initiative to get those jobs yourself. I did and so did many others. That's why we're working today and the complainers are still complaining. It's why we never have to worry about working in the future; because we are always in demand.

You have two choices to get into this line of work: you can either sign up with a company that will train you and get you licensed, but you have to sign a contract (usually for one year) with them. Or you can pay a school to train you for a few thousand dollars and then you can work for who you want.

Admittedly, not all jobs pay great, but great paying jobs are still out there.

So your answer is everyone move to jobs with declining pay and questionable safety. Oh and they need to get a lot of training.

Just because SOME jobs don't pay what they used to does not mean they are low paying jobs. It doesn't mean they are not paying livable wage which no truck driving job pays. They are all jobs that pay the bills and then some. But like any other career, it's what you make of it.

If you take a lower paying job because you are starting out and after some experience, you decide to stay where you are at, then fine. If you take that experience to better paying jobs, that's the best route to go.

If we ever get any good leadership in this country and they close off the borders, then those jobs will increase in pay.

To me it sounds like you're making excuses for every failure in this country. But guess what? There are no successful excuse makers. You won't find books on it, you won't find successful people that used it, and you won't find financial independence using excuses. All you really get from people that make excuses for themselves are stories of sympathy and failure.

Wages only go up so far in any line of work. The wages in truck driving are just fine. I've made a living off of it for the last 25 years, so can anybody else. And my job is far from the best paying.

The reason safety is an issue is because of all the foreigners we have in the industry. They are being hired because of too many lazy Americans. Some can't read English, others can't speak it. I have no idea how these clowns figure out where they are going. How do they read the road signs? They are terrible drivers to boot.

Your stance however is that Americans should not pursue a new career because again, some jobs don't pay like they used to. Just sit home on welfare. Yeah, you'll get ahead in life that way.

In the meantime, people who actually care about supporting themselves and their families will take these jobs, get experience, and eventually make a great living.
