Inflation fucked it up a lot more

Wages are an expense, like electricity

If you add all the other expenses to that pie graphic... it would be more intellectually honest

what happened to the other 11%?

Do you not have investments you loser?

You were NEVER going to amount to anything anyway.

Whaaaaaaaa!!!!!

Why do leftists think the role of business is to give them jobs?

Crony Capitalism*

Don’t worry about it. You would just spend the money on things to make the corporations more money.

lol how exactly do investments offset

Jesus christ, when you grow up you will get it.

Dividends paid to investors which are taxed at a lower rate then wages

If you do not have money with which to buy stocks, how are you supposed to make gains? You can start small but you're already at a massive disadvantage compared to those that can start big right off the bat.

No dummie!
Inflation is good as long as your not banker.
It's why they pushed inflationary fiscal policy in the 1970s to protect bankers capital.
If you're an average goy, who has a $100,000 mortgage on a house and inflation shoots up, it means that that $100,000 loan is a lot easier to pay as time goes on. That loan stays $100,000 on the books, while it's easier to get money to payoff that $100,000 loan.

Don't fall for the "inflation bad" meme. It's only bad for bankers who lend money. For everyone else that borrows money, it makes it easier to back back debts and devalues loans.

People find the money for iPhones, Starbucks, and what ever else they put on their credit cards. Why not find money for investments?

I'm so fucking sick of these ahistorical cunts. The poverty disparity used to actually be a lot fucking higher and it didn't even end there you were his subjects while on his land which meant he essentially owned you too.

You literally picked the area when the recession hit you fucking retard

so you're saying it wasn't real capitalism

You do realize you useful idiots are the first to die after the revolutions?

I doesn’t matter, you could double everyone’s salary and they would start complaining again in 6 months.

32k per year is in the top 1% of global income. Half the world lives on a dollar a day. If all those people came to America, they’d be happy for a while, then they would learn to complain.

>it would be more intellectually honest
On Jow Forums ? Hahahahahahaahha

I love when people cite inflation calculators but don't look at wages from the pre-inflation years.

Median income was $4,000 in 1970. Plug that into your inflation calculator and see how it compares to today's median income of $55,000

Would you look at that?
The best countries in the wolrd are all capitalist.

>muh proftis don't go to wages
Imagine being so retarded as to putt all your profits into wages and not reinvesting any of the money.

Corporativism =! Capitalism. You need to read Bastiat

The leaf gets it.

This. I'm an unemployed college student (in a country without free college) from a middle class family and I still have a pretty high standard of living and money to spare, job options are pretty good right now too. I don't care if the 1% are 100,000 times richer than me instead of just 10,000 times richer so long as I can get a good wage for good work, jealousy is an ugly emotion.

the hyena escaped the zoo again

If they survive dying initially, then they'll inevitably get purged by the "winner" of the communist power grab.

BUMP. This sucks. But still better than any alternative that doesn’t divided people along racial lines. Maybe we should divide along racial lines. Oh no ... who’s a mutt? Darn. Still better than any other alternative. Still can’t wait for it all to burn.

The fact that rampant greed exists does not discount capitalism in the least.

>artificially depressed starting point
>data covers a tiny time period
>"national income growth" lol that's not a statistic
>think progress

What a bunch of shill propaganda.

Wow, wages stayed relatively flat in the wake of the financial crisis and companies shored up their balance sheets so that they could continue to operate as a going concern instead of immediately paying out higher salaries to labor who had no pricing power. Who would have thought. Wages comprise 42% of GDP (declining but very stable) while corporate profits are obviously much more variable but range from 3-11%. Any time you use Corp profit GROWTH as a numeraterator over wage GROWTH as a denominator you're going to get skewed bullshit statistics like this.

I really don't get you.
There is the very possibility to raise by one,two fold the standard of living and your attitude is who cares I'll be fine.
Your are not going to be fine.
They are eating your cake, where is the graph with the productivity/salary evolution?
It will be WORSE.
You going forward will lose and be unable to regain your middle class status.
It's a conscious, deliberate path they have in mind.
It already happened and the USA people suffered immensely.
Wake up bro.

Oh please. You know where "corporate profits" go? To shareholders. If you're so oppressed by the big bad shareholders why don't you buy some stock and become one yourself? One share of general electric stock costs about ten dollars.

Oh but you won't do that because then you can't be an infographic faggot.

so you think all other expenses went up 88%

seriously? All of that pie is both wages and corporate profits. People are paid out of corporate profit, and all corporate profit goes somewhere, wether it is to the owners or workers, it doesn't stay in limbo

Yes... almost every business “supplier” is gouging now.

If you had bought CHD in 2009 you would have tripled your investment by now. Starting to see how this works?

Percentages are dishonest. Statistically speaking, as time has passed, the poorer have become wealthier and gained better standards of living. It's just that the wealthy have gotten exponentially wealthier.
Although, in fact, the world distribution has become more of a bell-curve of quality of life in recent years than 40-70 years ago, when it was more of a 2-hump system, with the wealthy and the poor divided into separate curves.

When you think about things from this perspective, it's is necessary to have a global economy?

>it's is

is it***

Look at all these corporate shills defending their overlords.

You can examine Mexico for an example of this, inequality is far lower in Mexico but no one would ever want to live there.

Which is an easily disprovable falsehood. Mexico's society is more unequal than the one of the US because its Gini coefficient is higher.

Fuck (((capitalism))) but fuck (((socialism))) as well

This

The capitalists here are stupid burger boomers from the election that won’t just fuck off

9/11 was a lesson for Corporations. YOU CAN TREAT PEOPLE LIKE UTTER SHIT AND THEY'LL STILL BUY WHATEVER YOU'RE SELLING EVEN IF THEY'RE POOR AF!

>inflation is good if you have a monstrously large loan that takes most of your adult life to pay off!
Inflation and interest are the two horns of the devil. The fed wields them both. And the IRS fucks you with the third.

Fuck your Jew socialism. We need an uprising yes but we need another hitler not another lenin

Wow, you're right. I was looking at some other inequality metrics concerning US vs Mexico a few years ago and got it confused with income inequality.

I was 11 in 2009 you filthy kike and you hooknose bastards really did fuck things up in the months leading to 09

>Muh corporations
Any company can incorporate, and our tax laws even encourage it. I wonder how much of those "corporate profits" are skewed because some corporations are actually a one-man/family-owned business, and technically their wages ARE corporate profit. Leftists have no fucking idea how businesses work, and when I mention how my company is a corporation, they immediately assume I'm a cog in a ten thousand-man machine, instead of just a one-man show.

>omg wages have stagnated
>also let us keep importing millions of people

You're not wrong but you're also forgetting that a depreciated dollar will mean those same loan takers will have a weaker dollar to spend with when it's time to hop on retirement. Inflation is an annoying wash at best and devastating at worst.

While you shit post anti capitalism propaganda from a computer I'm guessing you own people in Venezuela are protesting socialism because under it they don't even have food much less a home computer. You people are clinically retarded.

You guys dont know what a corportation is do you.... or is just the idea of a company making money as an entity that you dont understand? Or do you think there arent 15 more taxes the money goes through before an individual gets it?

Or do you not get the concept of reinvesting to grow the business?

Maybe an MBA or a finance degree would help.

I can never quite tell if you guys are legit retarded or just really like the idea of neo feudal serfdom?

Net or gross corporate profit?

In fact I can give a great example. I work for a company that does software/hardware dev and support for research institutions. We had a grear year and company profits were up ~ 60%.

No we could have been retarded and used that extra 60% to give everyone raises and fat bonuses. Or we can do the smart thing and keep wages the same and use that money to build anothet test and development rig and hire another employee to expand the business.

Its not hard you propagandistic commie fucks.

Why do rightist think workers should provide them with wealth?

Supply of labor vs. demand = price (wages)
Increase supply, while demand remains the same, and price (wages) go down. Yep, the left is out to drive down wages. Only broken and broke people vote for Dems and communists, so they need more broken and broke people.

>thinkprogress

Always. Just like its never real communism. Also "well its not a perfect system but its the best we got" argument.

>Work in IT for a large bank
>They send out their yearly and quartly recaps to employees for the townhall "WE LISTEN TO YOU GOYIM" meeting
>A huge swath of our budget was spent on stock repurchasing

It's all smoke and mirrors, senpai. There is no real prosperity.

Hi Plebbit

i wonder how a nigger would work to make that wage if the corporation didn't spend millions on tools, materials , electricity, fuel, etc.
every communist should fucking hang

Fuck things up how? We really felt nothing over here
