Republicans lead us to Marxism, Dems saving us from it

[Wyatt earp]

Minimum wages were never meant to be full time work, but for kids who wanted to learn about business, while going to school or retirees who wanted some extra income and be with younger kids. Then along came the Marxists, jacked up taxes and regulations thus forcing more people into poverty and causing those impoverished people to become full time minimum wage progressive slaves.

This is bullshit. Minimum wages were designed to keep the working class out of poverty. Businesses have avoided benefits by abusing part time workers and keeping wages low with a low minimum wage. Perpetual poverty cycle of the worker. This will lead to our end.

Once again wrong minimum wage laws where implemented across the world because of racism, to keep minorities from working

Nope. It was the populist movement.

Minimum Wage in America: A Timeline | HISTORY

Since 1938, the U.S. federal government has established that workers are entitled to a base hourly wage. Which workers receive that minimum—and how much—has remained a political issue.

On The Historically Racist Motivations Behind Minimum Wage

Senators are expected to vote tomorrow on a bill that would raise the minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10, a well-intentioned though economically irrational policy change that few Democrats realize has a troubling racial history. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office recently reported that...

That's not fantasy,

That's delusions.

There is a reason Leftism is considered a mental disorder ..... with delusions and all ...

It's a fine line. Neither reflects reality.

As usual the lack of intelligent debate on the right results from a lack of education thus devolving into name calling. We’re you able to follow that or do I need to type more

That which is obviously delusional neither requires nor invites debate.

Like I said. Your lack of intelligent debate is evident yet again. I expect the memes to flow soon from you. How scary. Yawn.

Oh by the way, down here in Florida McDonalds is offering starting positions $12 and hour, Buc-Ees is 15 dollars an hour. More than the minimum wage of the state of Florida. Supply and demand...Not Marxism...

So now you changing the goal posts? Yeah minimum wage is irrelevant because everyone is paying 30 - 40% over the national minimum wage

You’re not paying attention. The minimum wage is soooooo low that even Graeff fueled capitalist pay more. If it kept up with gains it would be $20+ right now. The minimum wage rate is so low we might as well not have one. We need one and it should be $15 and even higher in high cost of living areas.

And what about the folks who have been working for many years and perhaps gained a skill but make say 25/hr. Should the kid flipping burgers make 31k while he sill makes 50k? Do you really think all the wages will be pushed up accordingly? If so, do you understand the effect that will have on inflation and businesses? I am not in either category, but I can promise you that I won’t get a raise even if the minimum went to $25/hr, which NOT coincidently is about what they are paying people to stay how now. The idea of a Utopia is great, but in reality, it isn’t attainable. Democrats rarely think things through.

Republicans are pushing the US towards Marxism while the Democrats are the ones trying to save you from it. Don’t believe me? Look at the evidence.

FIRST, simply Marxism says that ultimately capitalism results in a small group of hyper-winners and an overwhelming number of losers resulting in the losers taking physical control (revolt/revolution) based on a numbers advantage. Then it goes on to suggest some non-class world of utopia.

SECOND, we are steaming towards an inevitable revolution/revolt based on the consolidating number of hyper-winners and overwhelming number of losers, not because of popular culture differences to debate.

1. Wages for workers are stagnant in real terms with all the moderate increase coming from top earners (first link)
2. Profit margins are at historical highs for capital owners (second/third links)
3. Profit margins have been driven by “productivity” increases on the backs of labor without any reward to the worker for being more productive - since the 70’s ripping off the worker has been in vogue as unions dissolved. (Fourth link)

THIRD, this is ALL DRIVEN BY REPUBLICAN POLICY. Republican policies drive lower minimum wages, lower Corporate taxes, fewer corporate regulations to protect workers, shirks providing basic benefits to Americans, and adamantly protects the hoarding of profits through fighting any redistribution tactics of graduated tax rates, inheritance taxes, capital gains.

CONCLUSION, the US capitalism experiment will fail if the Republicans continue to push winners take all losers lose all policies. Giving up some gains to protect the majority of your capital is the only strategy that keeps us in balance. Otherwise the workers will come for all your capital and you are outnumbered. Consider a long term strategy of taking care of the balance or perish in the instability of the only part of Marxism that is inevitable: The large underclass that gets taken advantage of will remediate that imbalance by force.

Again... showing how irrelevant the min wage is. Go ahead and explain to me wage stagnation and the loss of share of wealth by the worker. No anecdotal evidence of a sign in a window offsets the results of where we are at. The answer isn’t American workers are suddenly losers. The American worker is among THE MOST PRODUCTIVE WORKER IN THE WORLD. That is a fact.

People are too stupid to take care of themselves so we should invite the Gov to help us in that endeavor.

Today’s burger flipper is yesterday’s seamstress. Workers should be able to live outside poverty. 8-9% of all service workers and farm workers are working in poverty. The poverty threshold isn’t a good indicator as “near poverty” is well above that.

A profile of the working poor, 2017 : BLS Reports: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

This report summarizes data on the working poor. The working poor are people who spent at least 27 weeks in the labor force(that is, working or looking for work) but whose incomes still fell below the official poverty level.

Straw man arguments are intellectually weak. You don’t know how to retort my argument so you make a new one to argue. Who said anything you posted?

People basically protect their possessions without regard to how it affects society cuz that one person holding a little more tax savings doesn’t seem like a big deal. That’s what government and the community contract does. Sharing some amount of wealth responsibly results in a better outcome even for the rich as it doesn’t lead to dissatisfied revolution.
