Republicans lead us to Marxism, Dems saving us from it

[WTF19]

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.

scum demonRATS are pushing the US towards communism while the GOP are the ones trying to save you from it.

Prove it. Do you even know what communism, socialism, and Marxism is? Clearly not if you don’t recognize how the Democrat platform is inherently American capitalism.

I dare you to find any of that crap in here.

You have been fooled and continue to be fooled by the Democratic elites. They don’t care one iota about the “poor” or racism. Preaching division and “woe is me“ stuff is how they keep their lemmings towing the party line. They will completely destroy the middle class. They will remain elite and the burger flippers along with the engineers will be living in the same housing complex begging for crumbs. Yes, this is how they want it to work.

 

[citygator]

The answer is not raising the minimum wage who the heck in a skilled job wants to make a few dollars more than a burger flipper?

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.

Australia has one of the highest minimum wages and does nothing

And yet the Australian Council of Social Service (Acoss) estimates 38% of those living below the poverty line are in work and 15% of all people who work part-time are in poverty.

So in summation, white is black, black is white. People are too stupid to take care of themselves so we should invite the Gov to help us in that endeavor. Rich people are bad, making poverty virtuous, and finally we must surrender to Prog Fascism in the search for equity of economic, societal, and environmental justice.

I think not Junior.

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.

You just aren't intellectually capable of honest introspection.

Wages did go up a millimeter under Trump. Yes they did. Point noted. But that’s like saying some water was pumped out of the Titanic. Wages are have gone nowhere while the capital accumulation of companies and their owners have skyrocketed. It’s a huge imbalance and a 1% change didn’t make a dent.

Dude. Seriously? What do you want me to say? That Trump fixed the wealth and income inequity in the US? That would be a lie. I did see that states started raising some minimum wages and they inched up. It’s not enough. These were state activities not federal activities as you know we are in the longest drought of federal minimum wage freeze. But if you have the Trump plan for increasing wages post it hear.

If we continued Trump’s policies, wages would continue rise organically. The Democrats want to artificially raise wages and government revenue by forcing a higher min. wage and increasing taxes. They are backwards thinkers.
