How do you become rich?

[rightwinger]

If you can't afford to pay your fulltime employees a livable wage, then be a SOLE TRADER.

Employers are under no obligation to pay a "livable "wage

They are in my country. By Law.

But what about moral obligation?

Businesses exist to provide you with a product or service, not to give you a job. Jobs are a byproduct of that. You are not entitled to employment with anybody and the only obligation they have as far as your compensation goes is what people will agree to work for to complete the job they need. If people will do it for $5 an hour then that's what they pay. If they can't get people to do it for $5 and hour then maybe they'll pay $8 or $10 or $20 or what ever is necessary to get the skills they require.

That is the problem

Our employers have the upper hand. Workers are scared and willing to accept any terms that are offered. Keep employees hungry and they will take what you offer

The problem is not how can the poor become rich but how can the poor get jobs where they can support themselves and their families?
How can the poor get jobs where they can buy a house, afford healthcare, send their kids to college....hopefully, someday retire

Used to be the American Dream. The path to that dream is getting narrower and narrower

As the country moves further and further to the left, toward socialism.

We need to move to the left
Our move to the right in the 1980s left the working poor out of the recovery. Reagan destroyed the middle class. The wealthy won

They got deregulation, low tax rates, a compliant workforce ...everything they wanted

yes...just look at venezuela.....that is where the left wants us to go....they can't even get toilet paper to the people....or food, or electricity.......the left turns everything to crap.....

We had a booming economy in the 80s...thanks to Reagan...clinton killed it with his tax increases........and his attack on housing..........

They keep lying about the 80s...but the internet won't let them get away with it anymore......

We are not Venezuela

Venezuelas economy was built on oil. When oil was booming, Venezwela offered our poor relief
When oil collapsed, their economy collapsed
