Billionaires are holding 8.5 Trillion dollars. The coli told me these businesses can't afford to pay employees a living wage.

I read books on Political Philosophy, History of Civilizations, Finance, Economic History, etc

What's your source, CNN and Fox News?
Cool, let us know your source for that post I quoted you on.
I'm sure we would all like to know learn. I know I would. Because as of now it sounds like some Fox News mumbojumbo but according to you there is some credible sources to back that claim

Took ownership of what.
You typed that as an adult who pays taxes and takes care of themselves and you though that was intelligent, didn't you?
SMH

Economic illiteracy is a why most of you won't advance in life and your kids won't advance.

Please educate yourselves.


Read this book in whole, please.
I'm not saying that to shyt on your, insult you, or anything, but really learn economics.
fyi, this fella believes tax exemptions for wealthy people to purchase land for sport stadiums is an example of socialism:

public financing isn't capitalism, its socialism.
Keep telling me you don't know the terms you use.

He doesn't know what he is talking about when it comes to most things, particularly economic theories.

Breh, are you trying to waste time on the internet or actually answer a useful question?

I already pointed out that including "minimum wage" as a qualifier is useless, because you haven't made ONE ARGUMENT as to why that is the appropriate wage.


"People deserve to make enough to have a roof over their head."

@UpAndComing: "Not if they make minimum wage."

"Why? Why shouldn't minimum wage be higher?"

@UpAndComing: "......."

"Didn't we used to have higher minimum wage? Didn't a home used to be more affordable? Don't other countries pay their workers a higher real wage?"

@UpAndComing: "......."



I've asked you to substantiate your argument three times now, and you've given literally nothing. Unless you just love the taste of boots and hadn't licked enough yet today, what is your purpose in this thread? You claimed to be widely read on history, philosophy, and economics, but you haven't given us even ONE ARGUMENT from history, philosophy, or economics to actually justify why a full-time worker shouldn't make at least enough to support their basic living expenses with a roof over their head.


I already made these arguments to other posters. Read the thread. Don't be scared to read, I believe in you

Horrible tactic. Using the "I haven't heard your arguments" angle when you came in this thread late as hell uninformed. You tried :deadrose:

Can you make points without mentioning Republican/Democrat or CNN/Fox News? Sounds like that's where you get your information from
I love when people indirectly expose themselves

F. D. Roosevelt himself called minimum wage a living wage

OP stop pocket watching and get it out the mud. Respectfully
Hey man.
I do very well.

I would appreciate it if you guys wouldn't assume that I'm poor or struggling just because I think the poor and middle class are being squeezed by the ultra wealthy.

That's cap.

People that are doing very well don't have enough time or energy to concern themselves about those that aren't.

If you placed as much focus on making yourself ultra wealthy, then you would already have the key to the doors you're demanding another man opens for you.
