The income of the top 1% has QUADRUPLED from 1979 to 2007. The income of everyone else has FALLEN.
To suggest workers should maybe deserve to reap ANY of the benefits on the increased productivity that they made is apparently "communism". No, it's classical American Capitalism. It's the America the Boomers enjoyed and threw away. But if you say this on Jow Forums, you're called a commie. (((Now who do you think could stand to benefit from silencing right-wingers who want pay that reflects the work they put in instead of it ALL going to the bosses?)))
FUCK Communism. I want the Capitalism of 50's America. When a man could support a whole family ALONE with almost any job, and the boss STILL could drive a Rolls-Royce.
Rise of globalism and mass immigration pretty much destroyed the middle class
Luke Wood
Meanwhile; taxes and food and housing and education and transportation and... literally fucking everything except televisions (gotta get that propaganda in the house!) has gotten MORE expensive. Thanks boomers!
Stiiiiill waiting for that wealth to "trickle down".
Stupid. The 1% also hired millions more people to work as well. So if we were to take all the new hires and lump them up into 1 single person, the numbers show that the millions of people earned more than that 1%.
Take a look at Amazon. Beezos has a billion, but the workers all earned about $75,000. There are 647,500 employees, therefore this 99% has an income of 48562500000 if we were to lump then up into one. So wages have grown. It's just spread out among more people.
Wyatt Foster
shiieeet maybe it has to do with taxes going from
Angel Reyes
>taxes and food and housing and education and transportation The Government reverse-Midas touch strikes again (except food)
Still, this thread entirely ignores supply side economics
Zachary Thomas
Now compare it to the cost of owning or renting, food, transportation, insurance, bills etc.

LOOK... here is a fact abput big business? there is always stockholders. IF it is even remotely POSSIBLE to make greater profit doing A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G at all? the board of directoss know, if they dont DO IT, they are in big trouble and the stockholders SUE. If you can make it so it is somehoe NOT profitable to move the factory overseas? then you can have more blue collar work here again. There's no other way around it, unless you get rid of the stockholders suing like that.
Jack Torres
It has, just not in your pockets, But some other person who had $0
Brody Ramirez
>Look! They got more wage slaves to work for less and less! Isn't that great
Hi Shlomo. The slaves packing your shit are not making 75k, you just made that up. Second, you cherry picked one company who raised their minimum wage to $15 (Where it WOULD be about $20 if minimum wage kept up with inflation.)
Lincoln Cook
Exactly. Trickles to welfare mommas who pop out kids and sit on their asses.
Jaxon Howard
Capitalism is not at fault. The problem is socialized banking. Once the government's monopoly on force and justice combine with fiat money printing, the results are the clown world prison system you see now. The Federal Reserve, a privately owned company, prints "money" out of thin air, backed by nothing. This is loaned to the government, at interest. It trickles down and the inflation is passed on to the lower classes. As long as a billionaire or a corporation can borrow money at zero percent interest, buy their own stock shares to drive up the price then sell into the artificial strength, then they have an infinite money machine powered by human ignorance and suffering
Based, only the biggest corporate cock suckers think this trend is okay.
Joshua Johnson
Republican economic policies have been the cause of this.
Stop voting against your own economic interests , uneducated trump supporters
Ian Lee
Without stockholders Businesses will have a way more difficult time trying to raise money for capital. Nobody except a select few are able to start a business without stockholders. Without investors you'll have banks taking over everything
Michael Roberts
The income of the top 1% has QUADRUPLED from 1979 to 2007, the income of everyone else has FALLEN, -- and that's a good thing.
Jack Parker
Choose whatever company you want even if Amazon paid their workers minimum at 23k right above poverty wages, it'll still be at about $15 trillion
Charles Garcia
No the income and quality of life of everyone else has risen.
Evan Evans
this is how capitalism works rich become richer, poor become poorer, then all collapses in depression and war then everything starts again
you are commie if you want income of top 1% not to quadruple
Camden Garcia
Then you need to stop immigration. All of it. Workers are de-valued when there are many of them.

We are under a inverted capitalist system. The investment class constantly grows their wealth because they own everything. They import immigrants legal or not, depreciate wages so they get more work for less, yet growth continues because of the population from immigration. It's a ponzi scheme that only the investment class can participate in.
Absolutely fucking disgusting. Any liberal that says immigration is a good thing feeds right into the elites evil hands. Most of them know though, which makes them evil as well.
This is not sustainable but the elites will be fine when it all crashes, they will still have all the power, but this time they will use force instead of money.
Jason Clark
I'm glad as the days go by even those who were sucking capitalisms dick just 10 years ago are starting to see this shit for what it is. You wanted capitalism, well you got it, enjoy the corporate dictatorship, enjoy being replaced by third worlders and having to work for less. YOU ASKED FOR IT!!
Nathan Jones
>50s capitalism This is women’s fault. Them entering the workforce created a whole new class and 50% more workers. It pushed wages down, inflation up, and cost of living up.
True, but even if you banned women, importing an infinite supply of immigrants will reduce wages overtime.
Gabriel Bennett
You faggots were the ones pushing hypercapitalism by voting for republicans all these years
Adam James
True but who pushed for that? Not women, corporations and business interests did. They first made it so women had to work just to bring in enough money to survive and with that came the destruction of the family, then they brought out credit cards so you have to live off that too. I'm just glad people are finally starting to see it. I don't think this shit will last any longer. I give it 10 years maximum until people revolt.
Ian Hill
it only pushed wages down because the (((ruling class))) had the opportunity to do so. women joining the work force raised our productivity by about 25%. the fact that the standard of living actually dropped suggest some semitic involvement.
Productivity increases because technology allows it, not because you work more. If you don't work more why do you expect to be paid more?
Jaxon Hughes
At this point they are the same shit. I mean just look at the democratic candidates, they are no better than republicans. Both want to give corporations even more influence. Back in the 1980s people used to work to supplement their lives now it's the other way around where you have to sacrifice your life for your career.
Lucas Morales
Republicans pushed democrats to the far right during the 80’s & 90’s. Neoliberals( majority of the democrats) are just republican light
It is republicans fault
Alexander Ross
>democrats are far right ok then
Andrew Hall
Whoevers fault it was we need to put that aside and put our heads together and defeat this shit. Everyone fights against each other while they fill their pockets and ruin our standard of living. Even now, look at the stories the media is running, shit that doesn't matter to the average person out there, they do it on purpose.
Cameron Young
>*chuckles*
I used to care about such trifling matters once upon a time. You see, to work for wages when they have been stagnant since the 70s is pure cuckoldry. No person who claims to be conscious could endure such a fate, that of never ending work and constantly curtailing pay. I took it upon myself to take the NEETpill, and haven't looked back.
>10 years maximum until people revolt The people will NEVER revolt as long as they're eating and entertained. That, and government military is too powerful for revolution to EVER be a possibility again.
Look at China. They have to eat their fucking cats to survive. Where's the revolt? North Korea is even worse. No fucking way they will ever revolt. Nowhere, because they have pichforks while the government has fucking tanks and bombs. They will be slaves for ETERNITY.
If we fuck up we will be stuck FOREVER. (and it's really already too late).
50s capitalism in USA was a direct result of ww2 big part of word's gold was "evacuated" to USA during ww2 then USA started to spend gold (elites were buying it with paper money), Elites did not fuck commoners so hard because they were busy collecting gold, when gold finished they started to collect other things, the last thing to collect was real estate which brings rent.
everything that has or brings value must be owned
women are lifestock, you cant blame them (unless they are your sister or mother). ((elites)) spolied women to increase price of mating for human commoners and to increase spendings "due to mismanagement" (women = fun = problems). such way ((they)) reduced speed of accumulation of assets for commoners.
this is how capitalism works , why do you complain lol
TL;DR? Wish I could share this but the holocaust denial cringe is gonna make people stop reading immediately.
Kayden Bailey
Workers would be enjoying these things if there wasn’t endless immigration from Mexico or a welfare state— problems that can be solved. To tacitly suggest that we redistribute wealth because you’re not satisfied with your wage is nothing short of jewish.

Yeah, but how do you take the NEETpill when you don't have parents to live with?

There is really people here that think some guy who inherited wealth and sees his fathers stock ownership in a company they invested via generational wealth quadruple is somehow more entitled to this wealth than someone who works 60 hours as an engineer with an advanced degree.

There are really people who think that because someone else has something they do not have something, and therefore they can steal that thing

There is literally people who think Royal families should have 100% of all wealth and own all the land and we should just trust them. And wanting the value of your own work product means you are a communist (this includes increased stock value of a company)

The white man understands when he has a good thing going and does his best to not upset the apple cart by being fair to the people who make this possible.
The jew does not consider himself part of us and therefore is incentivised to siphon off as much value as he is able to get away with. 109 times he's been kicked out of nations for this error and has yet to learn.

If u want 1950s economic income of the US u will first have to reemulate the 1940s and drop two nukes on industrial Japan, crush china with a ruthless exploitive invasion, turn Asia back into third world disorganized economies, and then carpet bomb all of Europe in total war fashion. The US economic golden age of the 50s wasn't the result of draconian socilist policy or inherent superior manufacturing capacity of Americans, rather it was the result of a crippled world economy while the US was basically unscathed. Competition on a global skill now means u have to compete with a third worlder working 16 hours a day with no bathroom breaks or crushing government taxes to fund pointless healthcare systems. Shut up and get a second job. The only way out is to reject materialism and simultaneously overcome ur impulsive nature which the Jew has created a system to enslave u to your own Netflix benging amazon shopping impulsivity. I now am 26 years old and live off 5K passive income a month because I busted my ass for the last 5 years working +100hrs a week while spending nothing that I didn't need to (as dictated by an excel spreadsheet) You and everyone else simply doesn't have the will to accomplish this and instead blame the systems in place for such your own shortcomings.

Y'know, the US could've kept the manufacturing domestic and automated it all, and used the economic surplus to invest in a continuous stream of infrastructure projects. This would've have solidified the US's legacy as the greatest country on Earth. Instead, they shipped all the work and manufacturing infrastructure to China and imported the entire third world. Kept working and chasing paper wagie, misery loves company.
