Wages are TOO Damn Low In this Nation –
If you can’t pay Honest Wages you have NO business calling yourself an Honest Employer!
There is a lot of talk on the Left and Right about workers hourly wages. ‘Too High’, says that one. ‘They have it too easy’, pines this one. This that, the other thing, say a bunch of talking heads.
All from the angle of the ‘wealth creators’, just as all talk about the vaunted market is from the angle of the creditor, not the workers or debtors …. we are after all just scum according to these yapping mouths who push the Wall Street Party line day and night about how ‘wages’ are just too high for most people. About how the working poor on up to the middle class have it FAR to easy compared to the upper few percentage of earners who have the worst possible crosses to carry up Capital Hill from Wall Street.
Those long suffering hard working elite who pay entirely too much tax – any at all – while they make too little of the pie – that is the story.
The reality is that the top 1% who take in 27% of the income and own 35% by themselves – SHOULD be paying most of the freight gladly by rights, as they garner most of the gains.
As a side note it should be noted that FEW working men have EVER earned enough money at an hourly wage, ever, to be in the 1% or even top 20%. And those that do are TWO earner households who are really singly in the bottom 60% of incomes and wealth.
The Bottom Line:
Very very very few, bordering on none, of these talking head folks who yap about the wages, actually WORK for wages, much less the toilet water wages indicating one is part of the working poor and lower ‘middle class’. Most all the media heads are soft handed, know it all, blow hard, low class, slave drivers, whose value to the working man is itself very questionable in truth.
Oh they are educated and so super smart? Could have fooled me son. They are insulated from reality. Their idea of a ‘hard patch’ is when they have to travel over an pot marked stretch of urban street on their way to a 5k a plate, VIP only, donor donated buffet. Truly if they were any more in the dark, about the real world, they would be mushrooms.
Let them get a clue, what it is to be born into working rural squalor. Let them get a glimpse of the reality of having to make HARD choices like food or medicine, but not both. Let them deny themselves all the things they say are ‘wasteful’ when the poor want them – like dental and visual care, like housing that is in a safe clean area, like schools that are not jungles, like jobs that pay the bills with something left to go into savings!
Let them defend themselves while living in an urban jungle reaping the rewards of tolerating diversity lowering their wage as it also engulfs their community in crime, squalor and barbarism of all kinds.
Let these soft handed lazy backed parasites garner a clue as to what it is to labor away for decades and to still fall behind no matter HOW hard you work (people work longer hours for LESS income) because wages are at substantially the same level as they were in 1965 for working Chucks. Who in TRUTHFUL fact have a much lower standard of living than those in ‘65 IRL as opposed to the Potemkin Paper World of PC the parasite class push upon the rest of us.
The Talking Heads paid for by the ‘Wealth Creators’ yap about ‘education’ and 'getting skills' when they in fact have ZERO 'skills' other than pushing paper, lying, and being a mercantile CHEAT who was born wealthy enough to get a loan. Business Degrees are TOILET paper, just the liberal arts degree of the financial world.
None of these nabob churls will admit that stagnation of wages for working people, is structural and has NOTHING to do with any one persons 'moral worth' or 'effort'.
Fact is that wages as an aggregate whole have NOT advanced for middle and working class folks since about Ronnie Raygun and over all have been FLAT since about the Great Society for Working Class People doing 'entry' level factory and other manual labor jobs.
They won’t admit that they caused these low wages by IMPORTING scab labor from the third world. They won’t cop to it because they profit mightily from squeezing the working and middle class dry.
But these ones in denial about the reality of the majority working poor are actually the best among this crop of demanding harpies. These scab loving harpies at least admit that one requires a minimum wage to survive.
Some of the more deluded think we working folk need no minimum wage or any other labor protections – workers had it too easy in the Gilded Age – in theory they assert that a person’s labor (even their life) has NO value, nor does their quality of life, at, before or after work matter unless somebody is PAYING for that time... Basically they think we are all slaves who are privileged to be paid for any wage at all for any day’s worth of work, even if it kills us, and if it does kill us we should have NO legal recourse against our money masters. They think that workers should be grateful to the wealth creators for their pitiful wage since 'nobody has ANY right to anything', nobody that works for a wage that is, nobody except the wealth creators of course, who rightfully have everything – Duh.
And these sorts of carpetbagger trash wonder why the working and middle class hate, nay loathe, them.
Reality Check:
Ya See here in reality the 'minimum wage' is a Slave Wage... It barely pays for the serfs to live physically much less actually have a LIFE that has ANY MEANING – working for unloyal soulless ‘wealth creators’ meaning in life does not bring.
Speaking of the High and Mighty Wealth Creators IE Employers, time for some fresh air – Frankly if your 'business model' depends upon citizens being effectively your serfs at will, please simply go bankrupt as your services are NOT needed at all. Any Boss, Big Man or Other Would be Honcho that cannot pay the Federal Minimum Wage of 7.25 an hour for honest work has NO business being in business at all.
Federal Minimum Wage is 7.25 @ 40/week that equals 290 pretax dollars per week @ 52 weeks a year equals 15,080 dollars... Big Living that... 700 dollars a month for housing equals 8400 subtracted from the PRE TAX TOTAL that leaves 6,680. Now lets add in about say 100 a month for utilities and the same again for gas, clothing and medical care (4 x 100 x 12 = 4800) for 4800 subtract and that leaves 1880 for about 120 a month in food. Leaving all of 440 for savings. (And we should note that these are extremely rosy numbers – in reality the above would be negative in most real world instances.)
Think that is 'TOO High'? If so We suggest you either Live on this amount or that you are so high up the air is too thin for proper thinking to occur!
Remember all this leaves out Taxation which for single men without dependents can be quite a high percentage of their gross!
Yes 440 dollars a year before taxes for savings .... these are Slavery level wages by any other name especially when a persons health care is tied to these peon jobs. It is degraded that 'the greatest nation in the world' depends upon such low paid laborers.
Banana Republic like in fact. It is SHAMEFUL that we have Citizens that work at these third world wages. Shameful.
Facts are facts.
Now while 7.25 is too low, 15 might be a bit high, so lets be reasonable and cut the difference: 15 - 7.25 = 7.75/2 =~3.86 So lets call it 7.25 + 3.86 for 11.11 at that wage 40 hours/week 52 weeks/year = 23, 108.8. 23,108.8 - (8400 + 4800 + 1440) = 8,464 which a whole lot more than 440, ~21 times more in fact.
11.11 an hour is surely a better wage than the zero that many 'right to work' Wealth Creators promote. And saying there should be NO minimum is exactly the same as saying zero is the limit.
11.11 is Honest Pay for Honest Work -- Wages that favor the Worker, Wages that allow for Families to have ONE wage earner.
11.11 is a reasonable first step in turning this nation into a HIGH PAID nation of Citizens rather than a low paid country club full of slaves. 11.11 will help to take us from a nation of wretched low paid and divided serfs back to a nation of honest hard working families united in communities.
