Corporations don't give their employees anything. In return for labor, they offer compensation that includes wages, health insurance, SS. They make more money off of that labor than they pay to the employee.
Over the last 30 years, the ability of that compensation to pay for homes, healthcare, energy and education has decreased. The taxpayer has had to step in and supplement that declining employee compensation.
Sorry Bub, but as usual the Kool-Aid affect gets in the way of your thinking.
Price of a product or service, except when there is a captive customer base, is driven solely by what people will pay for it.
Americans over and over and over and over choose cheap price over anything else...this forces corporations to find anyway they can to lower costs to continue to make a profit.
You wanna know who is the most at fault for declining wages?
Start by looking in the mirror.
Doesnt matter. Employers are still making a profit off of every employee.
Why can't people continue to pay for product and service? Consumers have cut back because of declining spending power.
Typical blame the victim conservative talking point
Are you being obtuse or are you really this dense?
Of COURSE employers make a profit off of their employees...what the hell you think companies use to buy equipment, replace computers, invest in expansions etc. etc....you think they are GIVEN these things???
All of that comes from past profits. Profit is not some evil endeavor, they are absolutely necessary for a company...to STAY a company.
You know what a company that doesn't make profits off of their employees looks like?
