40 percent of americans don't make a living wage

millions of people rely on government programs for money to survive. it's programs like these that raise your taxes. the corps are ruining our lives, not the burger flippers

Found the neoliberal.

How much do other flippers get?
Shake Shack burger flippers have better wages?

i truly don't see how the US doesn't. literally everyone is bleeding out of their ears with cash right now

>I deserve to determine how much everyone should be paid!

But niggers also cause lots of problems. Niggers and Jews and if those two are gone we won’t have problems

The working man deserves a dignified wage.

I do maybe 45 minutes of computer work a day and my boss loves me. I make more than fast food workers but I know deep down that it should be the other way around.

Be honest guys.

Unions are the free market solution to the imbalance of power between employers and individual employees. It's only because of government involvement in union busting that American laborers have become wage slaves.

Would be nice if people got paid for how hard they actually work.

>lines follow each other that mean one cause other
How do you know it wasn't decreasing middle class incomes that caused decreased union membership, stupid?

I managed a small business for a few years. My schedule was this
>work for 1 hour right when i got in
>take phone calls all days
>wait on customers an accumulative hour a day
>shut the business down for an hour at the end of the day

the other 5 hours I would go on netflix, play video games, and even get a nap in once in awhile. I was getting paid double minimum for doing 1/10th the work that almost anybody with a pulse could do. every day i felt bad for the wagie

How do you explain thousands of years of civil war and strife in ethnically homogenous places in Asia etc? A new bad guy will always be found so eliminating a race won't do shit. Chinese people all look exactly the same but they still find a way to hate each other based on race.

They will NEVER lower taxes. Increasing minimum wage would only raise the cost if goods as companies passed off the hit and keep taxes at the same rate.

It's also worth mentioning a raise to minimum wage would essentially kill small businesses that are already struggling to compete against mega corporations.

>inb4 capitalism doesn't work

No it does work provided the populace aren't literal lumps of fuck with no drive constantly seeking handouts.

I do pretty well financially in infosec. All I do 99% of the time is click 'acknowledge alert' and go back to reading something else.
Worked some entry level jobs right after high school, brutal work for shit pay. Never made burgers, but I imagine they need sandpaper to get the grease off at the end of the day.

Everybody should be able to pay the bills & eat if they are engaged in productive labor. No exceptions.

well it has to increase sometime. the federal minimum hasn't gone up in 11 years, what do you think is going to happen? It can't stay $7.25 forever.

If anything small business have been given a HUGE fucking break these last few years considering minimum should have gone up around 2014 give or take.

We've now gone on 11 years where employers have been saving money because their hasn't been an increase in minimum wage. Isn't that more than enough? How many more years should we give them? 5? 10? 25? Permanently set at $7.25 so when 2050 rolls around you can work 60 hours to pay for a loaf a bread?

honestly, it has to go up sometime. you don't expect the minimum wage of $1 from 1960 to still be in effect, so why should the $7.25 from 2009 still be around? Because a couple of businesses will go under? If your business can't afford paying each employee an extra $1 an hour then maybe they were on the cusp of failing anyway.

There shouldn't be a minimum wage at all.

America's too far gone for an idea like that to work. millions are already working for minimum or just slightly above it. you think multibillion dollar corporations won't try to get the lowest wage possible.

>hi, we're amazon. we noticed your town doesn't have a lot of jobs. come work for us for $5 an hour. it's better than nothing senpai

For sure it would improve some peoples lives but taking away a minimum wage at this point would open the flood gates for thousands of corporations to take advantage of their already poor workforce. American desperation is at an all time high. Someone will always work for below minimum, always. And if a corporation gives you know choice, what else is there?

To illustrate how financially illiterate you are.
Theres thing called inflation.
In 1960 $1 was the equivalent of $8.74 in today's funny money.
Let that sink in for a minute that dollars have diluted in value that much and ask why this is so.
Instead of just demanding more and breaking the economy further, do some research into economics and seek to fix the problem at the root.

Get some roommates and pool money, make investments, Jesus Chris I saw an 8 year old from Switzerland a couple of years ago was selling canned fresh air to Chinese people at $20 a can. Quit blaming other people for your lack of drive.

not like most of the shit people buy is made in America in the first place

Ask for a shitload of money doing garbage you could train a high schooler to do in a week and then ask why everything comes from China and other places where low skill workers are paid what they're worth, lol.

Production doubled over the last 40 years but wages have not doubled, even when adjusting for inflation. the average worker is getting paid half of what the should be
epi.org/productivity-pay-gap/

But let's forget productivity for a second. Let's talk strictly inflation. You said it yourself, minimum wage would be $8.74 if it stayed in line all these years. So why isn't it? Why is $1.49 less? With your numbers alone you've proven to me that minimum wage is now weaker than it was 60 years ago. So let's raise it. Like I said small business owners have had it good these last 11 years. Now it's the workers turn.

It's okay to admit things are harder for younger people. It doesn't mean they are lazy, or have a lack of drive. that's some boomer shit. I believe boomers have this mindset because a hard days work actually did pay off for them. Mow some lawns in the summer and pay off your college debt. Get an associates degree and you're upper middle class by friday. Anyone with a high school diploma and hankering to work at the factory can afford a house in just a few short years.

Look how far we've fallen. Minimum wage stagnation is a small symptom of a much larger problem. Just remember: it has to go up eventually.

Sounds like they should get a better business model then, doesn't it?

on the contrary, it is once there are unions that the middle class gets poorer. it is clear form the graph.

Inflation is required and sought after for a healthy economy. If your currency isn't inflating then your economy isn't growing. Likewise, the value of currency compared to itself is a fucking pointless statistic as currency is relativistic. The dollar is the strongest currency in the world right now and one of the most valuable. Fuck, this board is stupid.

I'm not.

then why are so corporations afraid of unions? why are tradesmen mostly unionized if it's so bad for them? how is it every unionized friend of mine makes a living wage, has health insurance, a retirement plan, and overtime up the ass, and all my friends wageslaving in offices barely make ends meet?

Why is amazon so afraid of unions? really makes you go hmmmmmm
