You provide free healthcare from the womb to the tomb, free education from ABCs to PhDs (With stipend for students), robust social safety nets, common stipend to all from all resources of the land (controlled by the state), labor rights, collective bargaining as a fundamental right for business to exist, mandatory paid vacation and sick days, mandatory paternal/maternal paid time off, close corporate tax loop holes, raise taxes on corporations who relocate any major portion of their business overseas, environmental protection laws, campaign finance laws, and a well-kept and well-funded public transportation system...

and we can get rid of minimum wage.
but when you say it that way it does not sound complicated, so ...you must hate freedom I mean liberty?:yasure:

Rail against those that are "inherently evil" while
championing the CEO's who make 100s of millions of dollars on
the backs of their low wage workers who barely scrape by brehs.

Complain about the "Ghetto" and/or "Poor" people while
actively supporting their exploitation brehs.

Completely miss the incredible irony of your stance brehs.

You idiots still using that tired ass "bu bu bu bu but they're going to cut jobs and hours if they increase the minimum wage! :sadbron:" argument? :mjlol: Have any of you clowns been to a Wal-Mart lately? Look at that place. Wal-Mart is already operating at the bare minimum. There's NOTHING left to cut. That's why big business fears this so much. They won't be able to offset the cost of the increase with cuts in labor. As for automation, that's coming anyway. There's no stopping it. Business is going to implement these minimum wage DOOMSDAY scenarios no matter what. The cost of labor could drop to 4 cents per hour but if a machine was able to do it for 3 cents per hour the human labor would be eliminated. The price of all goods and services will rise, as they have been, whether there is a minimum wage increase or not.

And the small business argument is so disingenuous because no one gives a damn about small business until the usual tired "_________ doesn't deserve _______ for doing _______" arguments have been slaughtered. Then it's "bu bu bu bu but small business, what about them? :sadcam:" The only person who seems to operate a small business is Brady's Artechoke and it shown to be cut rate and poorly run on the back of cheap labor. Still waiting for that answer on why you don't think $10 an hour can draw decent labor by the way. :mjpls:

Middle class wages have been on the decline for some time. Shouldn't you all be celebrating this? Shouldn't there be MORE JOBS and MORE HOURS and the cost of everything should be cheap, if not free? Since everything is tied to the cost of labor, right? But no, people bemoan the decline of middle class wages, and rightfully so but want the lower class wages to remain stagnant if not decrease. Why? Do you see yourselves getting closer to that lower class level? Scary huh? If minimum wage goes up then you're that much closer to Pablo and Tyron, not Sumner and Weatherford. Now you hate Pablo and Tyrone. But it's really Sumner and Weatherford you should be mad at. But damn it, you want a seat at their table SO BAD :ohlawd:

Think and grow rich, right? :mjlol:


We can close this thread after this post.

Marx will ultimately be vindicated. Say what you want about governments that have risen in his name (a lot of criticism is valid) but the Marxist argument against Capitalism is 100% on the money.

One thing I don't get is people, usually economists and politicians in the West, ashamed to associate with any Marxism. The propaganda made it dirty philosophy. I don't agree with all of his assertions and tenants but brushing aside his arguments is foolish.

You're being silly.

This push for "equality" doesn't help more people than it holds back.

Be careful with how you word your arguments. I'm starting to see through you. Its getting hella annoying and I'm wondering how you think it leads to the same SUCCESSES the west has embraced over this time.

based on the review it seems, Piketty comes close to saying the things I say out loud and sometimes in my head that make me feel tinfoilish. This does not make me feel better. what is amazing is dead7 thinks this is what I want to hear:troll:


The parts of the review I found noteworthy





one day we will discover that, since the age of big data, all markets have been manipulated by one central algorithm that slowly leaks money to the owners of said algo.

This is so interesting to me
you can tell these rich brehs
"hey, I have an idea that will let you continue to live a fabulous life for generations and also help the rest of the world live a little better, all you have to do is give up some cash" and after running out of excuses, they will ultimately tell you "hell no"

to me this is madness :yeshrug:

So go join a commune, or pose some solutions.

Its easy for you to sit here and trash capitalism, when in reality, its better than anything OUTRIGHT socialism has ever done.

That being said, this country is not NEARLY as capitalistic as it could be. Which is ok.
