Republicans lead us to Marxism, Dems saving us from it

[Crepitus]

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.

Who the hell is paying minimum wage besides tip based jobs?

It's not who pays it,it's the fact that the initial base is set so low it suppresses all wages.

Wages were stagnant for over 20 years. Trump got them moving up. But democrats couldn't have Americans happy. Liberalism thrives on misery

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. I listen.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/01/02/minimum-wage-increases-fueling-faster-wage-growth-those-bottom/?outputType=amp

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.

I just showed you that minimum wages increased at the state level. Regardless you demonstrated no plan to organically raise wages just a general statement that while Trump inherited the best economy since Clinton there was minor wage growth that was partially from state a city minimum wage increases.

But even discounting those minimum wage increases your answer is to do nothing and see if a 50 year trend fixes itself which has had long periods already for Republican leadership.

 

[Harry Dresden]

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.

minimum wages were for the kids getting out of HS and getting their first job....

 

[Crepitus]

Minimum wages were never meant to be full time work, but for kids who wanted to learn about business, while going to school

Wrong. It was always meant to be a living wage.

In his 1933 address following the passage of the National Industrial Recovery Act, President Franklin D. Roosevelt noted that “no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country.”

“By ‘business’ I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level — I mean the wages of decent living,” he stated.

A federal minimum wage wouldn’t be permanently mandated until 1938 under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the same bill which prohibited child labor and limited the workweek to 44 hours. Even then, the idea was the same: ensure that businesses have to a) pay people for the work that they do, and b) that the payment is at least enough to live on.

“Without question,” explained FDR, “[the minimum wage] starts us toward a better standard of living and increases purchasing power to buy the products of farm and factory.”

It Was Always Supposed To Be A Living Wage

by Hanna Brooks Olsen The fight to raise the minimum wage is being waged across the country, and has been for years. As workers and activists in New York fight for $15, citizens in Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles are already seeing increases in their paychecks. But all along the way, there a

Switzerland..



2018, 7.9% of the population or some 660,000 people in Switzerland were affected by income poverty. Switzerland has also a significant number of working poor, estimated at 145,000 in 2015. ... As of 2019, Switzerland had the highest average wealth per adult, at $564,653.

The business-friendly National Center for Policy Analysis points out “the 1931 Davis-Bacon Act, requiring ‘prevailing’ wages on federally assisted construction projects, was supported by the idea that it would keep contractors from using ‘cheap colored labor’ to underbid contractors using white labor.”

1925, a minimum-wage law was passed in the Canadian province of British Columbia, with the intent and effect of pricing Japanese immigrants out of jobs in the lumbering industry.

A Harvard professor of that era referred approvingly to Australia’s minimum wage law as a means to “protect the white Australian’s standard of living from the invidious competition of the colored races, particularly of the Chinese” who were willing to work for less.

In South Africa during the era of apartheid, white labor unions urged that a minimum-wage law be applied to all races, to keep black workers from taking jobs away from white unionized workers by working for less than the union pay scale.”

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

In 1966, Milton Friedman wrote an op-ed for Newsweek entitled "Minimum Wage Rates." In it, he argued "that the minimum-wage law is the most anti-Negro law on our statute books." He was, of course, referring to the then-present era, after the far more explicitly racist laws from the slavery and segregation eras of United States history had already been done away with. But his observation about the racist effects of minimum wage laws can be traced back to the nineteenth century, and they continue to have a disproportionately deleterious effect on African-Americans into the present day.

I disagree. In order to subscribe to this theory, one has to first accept that Marx was correct about the inevitability of a socialist backlash against capitalistic enough capitalism. I believe Marx was, to say the least, incorrect, and offer a daisy chain of failed Communist states as evidence.

Plus, if nothing else, if our capitalism is to self-destruct, there is a *very* identifiable alternative as to what system brings it down: fascism.

When did we go off the gold standard?

1st it was FDR who stole everyone's gold except the coin collectors or those who sent their gold overseas, then inflated the dollar by 25% so he could pass his welfare Marxist agenda. Then Nixon(establishment Republican) did it for good so he too could inflate the dollars. Establishment hasnt looked back since....And this is why a 95 cent meal from McDonalds is now over 5 dollars....

IMHO this is a classic example of STARTING with a PREDETERMINED CONCLUSION and then attempting to cherry pick evidence that supports it while excluding anything that doesn't. What makes it worse is that the author has clearly demonstrated a strong PARTISAN BIAS in the past, making the whole mess unworthy of consideration by any objective observer.

Michael Mooreism at its finest.
