71% of Dims supposedly think

…and the Nazi’s only needed 10% of the population to take over. The bad guys have a shit ton of people hanging on their every word. The dumbing down of America is real and is working.

Except it's not.

We're a socialist welfare state.

I dislike welfare as much as the next guy.

Welfare is dished out based on income levels.

If folks, laborers especially, made more then many folks wouldn't qualify anymore.

We're not talking about a government mandated minimum wage or something like that but instead businesses and individuals choosing to pay more for in demand skills and workers.

There was a labor shortage under Trump too (that was actually even worse by most metrics) so this isn't just something that can be fixed by cutting back the ridiculous unemployment benefits.

Starting with one: yes, I’m willing to pay more for an outstanding service and/or product. And I believe most people do. But if prices go up, I’m willing to go out to that place or buy their product unless I start making more.

Two: We all want those lazy SoB’s who barely do anything and get paid a shit ton out. But you’re looking at years and years of human conditioning to eliminate those ‘good ole boy’ coasting jobs from their career sectors.

I agree with paying the hard shitty jobs more, but you need to penalize corporations and executives for the wage gaps and then prevent them from outsourcing jobs to overseas. And even then, it might have negative consequences all around.

I agree with your last statement, but once again, that takes years of human conditioning to get everyone on that same page.

I agree with many of the points here.

Society needs a massive overhaul and it's nice to finally see people at least trying to make America great again.

Skilled trade is the way to go these days.

The wages some laborers make compared to a typical college grad is ridiculous. If a young person were to ask me, I'd steer them towards a trade school instead of a university. Skilled trade workers are making a killing these days.

They likely still aren't paid enough but completely agree with the rest of this.

You don't support Americans making more and leaving welfare?

only if I don’t have to pay taxes as a business owner to pay them more.

 

[TTUcamper]

Folks, especially laborers, definitely need to be paid more.

This would be true with or without the ridiculous amount of unemployment.

It's called inflation. We need sound money not more funny money. Wages will always chase inflation when pump this many dollars into the system

What would be "sound money" in your opinion?

Just curious.

Backed by something like precious metals preferably. Basically something that is impossibly to make a couple keystrokes and create a trillion more of.
