My father died ten years agoGreat story of a private citizen working hard for the American Dream. Please elaborate by asking your father how much the janitors that cleaned his shop made and how much your father made climbing telephone poles and post it. Also ask your father if he thought the janitors who swept the floors should have made as much as he did for climbing poles? Please post the answers because it would help with the discussion and help the future of all Americans! Thank you.Yes I doThat's not what I said.Taxes is not fascism
You want the government to dictate to private people the wages and salaries that they must pay to other private people. That is fascism.
My father had a High School education and got a job climbing Telephone Poles and repairing phone lines.
He was able to buy a house, raise four kids, send them to college and retire at 61....all without my mother working
That is when employers paid a wage you could support a family on. Since then, employers have cut back wages and benefits. Taxpayers have been forced to step in and subsidize substandard wages.
If we have to support YOUR employees so you can make more profit......we have a right to “encourage” you to pay more
But even a lowly janitor made enough to support a family
