Don’t forget that companies are replacing jobs with half-baked AI and making people use it it multiple fields. Without UBI, the average American is screwed or soon will be.
Republicans have added 10 trillion dollars to the national debt by giving tax cuts to the rich. Since the 1980s they've added more debt than anything they whine about
That’s why they’re loosening the child labor laws and taking away so many supports for families, to induce desperation and send kids to work doing what immigrants were doing. They want to turn back the clock to 1900.
They can’t staff the drudgery jobs they have now, so Floriduh is trying to drastically change child labor laws including removing mandatory meal breaks for 17- and 18-year-olds. The hell with school. They want slave labor and are preying on poor families who might go for it out of desperation.
Does ANYONE remember the year that we got an increase in salary???
2009.
They didn’t even give us the next level of wages after that.That’s why they say “don’t discuss your wages”.We were supposed to get an increase. Don’t look at US because YOU screwed up. WE KNEW THE ASSIGNMENT AND VOTED 4’ALL
Amen brother….do you ever wonder how much money is enough for these people, I can say from being around many very wealthy people it’s never enough, and money doesn’t buy happiness nor does it buy good health. It’s sad most hard working people just want peace of mind,not asking for much
Capitalism won’t be destroyed by a revolution! It’ll rot from within, strangled by a system that pays workers just enough to survive, but not enough to sustain the very machine they’re trapped in.
Or it will morph into something brown-ish. Spiked with hate and imaginary conflicts fought for fiefdoms of nowadays deities by masses of followers, some wearing red hats, some dressed in white gowns or green "Z" uniforms
First, workers need to take a stand. Many were injured or killed when workers formed unions. Now, everyone is too scared to do what it takes. Workers hold all the power, they just need to find the balls to use it.
New Jersey transit is on strike this morning. Getting around New York will be a challenge today. We need a work stoppage all across America. We need to demand a substantial cost of living raise for Social Security recipients as well.
The original Ford principal was good not only did he pay workers above average wages he paid them so that they could all afford to buy one of the cars they made.
I have Never understood how it is o.k. with everyone that you work as hard as you are able at a job and you can Never even afford the product you make or the service you provide.
When you can't afford to eat lunch at work (not even brought from home) and
All of the data clearly shows that economies are boosted by lower income people having more money. Crime and drug use drops, families stay together, and more. Anyone not in favor of a living wage is unable to do math.
if you want to bring jobs back you INCREASE taxes on companies who manufacture outside the US. and you remove all the stupid tariffs so they can't pass those costs onto the consumers.
Start by bringing back all the jobs corporations FIRST shipped out which were customer service, call centers, data entry, programming and so many more! All with the excuse it would save the consumer! None of our bills went down - THEY WENT UP! AS DID THOSE SAME COMPANIES' PROFITS EXPONENTIALLY!
Repubs know all this. They don't care about pollution either. They just want to be reelected, keep their check, and perks, and not worry their pretty stiffnecked heads about it.
I feel like I'm in some kind of time warp. We had FOUR DAMN YEARS of proof that all this works - higher wages, unionizing, taxing corporations and the extremely wealthy, funding the IRS - and everyone is acting like the Biden years didn't actually happen or that nothing was accomplished!
Exactly, normal folk pay 10-37% and these bastards pay 2% if we're lucky, some dont even pay that and grab subsidies from the tax payers purse, people like musk, so if they paid 37% like other people the debt would go and socialised healthcare would be piss easy, TAX THE RICH for fucks sake.
Tax billionares like it's 1950. If we did nothing else, this would solve almost everything related to money. Tax the rich, close the loopholes, hike the capital gains tax, remove the social security tax cap for income, enact a minimal wealth tax, and increase the corporate tax rate.
If I can't afford to shop/eat/play where I work, I quit that shit job. I've quit many a shit job. I've quit every job. It's a bullshit system and it kills me to have to participate to survive. I'd rather die.
Best way is to start taxing jet fuel. About $10 cents per liter.
This would take care of a lot of environmental problems and it would tax the rich more than poor people.
Billionaires need to be taxed MORE than workers. In fact they need most of their money taken from them by the government and put into programs like social security 💪💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
AND if we were paid a decent wage we could get off our addiction to cheap Chinese goods - we are FUNDING China's rapid arms development and they are the biggest global threat to democracy (not Russia).
So in essence paying a higher wage IS the equivalent of DEFENSE SPENDING! Think about it ;?)

Due to the excess of wealth accumulating amongst the few.
Sound familiar? When were we "Great"? When the rich & corporations were paying very high nominal tax fees.
