RE: Sen. Sanders to announce proposal promising jobs to all Americans
Didn't everyone in the Soviet Union have a job too and how's the working out for them now? Oh ya, that's right it doesn't exist anymore because their economy and currency collapsed because it was centrally planned and controlled by the government. In fact I think the only real point of the soviet economy was to copy what the USA was doing in an attempt to look strong. The only real exports that came out of the Soviet Union were AK-47s and Vodka while the USA produced most of the goods in the world until the 1970's when globalism start being pushed.
America is the largest socialist experiment by far. It is based from it's inception on a currency or money that never delivered it's redemption in gold and which for the most part was in the hands of private rothschild corporations, who has always been the enemy of the people, both in rusia and in the other socialist states and commonwealths, who right now vouch everyone's labor and earning as collateral to the FIAT dollar, talk about socialism and Central Control, the kgb would indeed die if they knew how total and complete sublime communism is here.
Let say a $10 an hour worker now gets $15 an hour because of a minimum wage increase. That's a 50% increase in pay. That person now can afford more good and services in the economy. That's sounds like a great thing right? But on the other hand what happens to the $20 an hour worker's wage? Is he going to get a 50% increase in pay from his employer, nope. He actually loses money in this minimum wage increase because there's an increase in demand on the goods and services he buys too and economic 101 will tell you that an increase in demand on the same amount of goods and services means only one thing, higher prices. That's why you can't increase minimum wage to say $100 an hour because it would completely implode the economy and cause massive inflation.
Because you cannot increase it to $100 sensibely and because somoene making $20 is going to have to pay a marginal increase on goods, supposedly, then it's surely not a wise thing to emply a certain standard, we should let the corporations themselves decide if the work is worth anything, profits over everything because calling it capitalist when it's inherently socialism at it's best somehow gives you a right to take advantage of the disadvantaged, who should either get a job, learn to get a job or a combination of the two.
