Please.......we live in a country where our so called poor are mostly overweight, and they have cell phones. People can afford a lot of things, but when the option is there to buy cheaper things, that's what we do. That's why Walmart is number one and has been for some time.
You people on the left want to drastically raise minimum wage which of course would have a domino effect, strap them down with expensive regulations, tax them to death, and then expect them to stay in the country?
This kind of logic is why Democrats should never be in charge of anything again.
Um, we did that.
Guess what, we had massive prosperity between 1940 and 1970 when the Democrats were in charge, and made sure that government was on the side of workers and consumers.
Your argument would work if we lost out to a Libertarian Paradise. We didn't. We lost out to countries that were more socialist than we are.
Yes we did, and how do those people in those socialist countries live? No comparison to how we do.
