OCCASIONAL Cortez thinks wages are too low and need to go up 'across the board'.. Looks like she needs an economics lesson if you ask me!
Let me tell you something, don't think your job pays enough? Get a better job! That's a little something called the 'free market'.
Too many cheifs, not enough indians these days. I can tell you, if Ronald Reagan was alive today he would be rolling in his grave if he saw the attitude of some of these young people today.
Pretty sure, because 1970s, that this leads to every price going up across the board as well and accomplishes nothing.

If a job needs to be done, it deserves to be paid a living wage. The fact that Americans can work a 40 hour week and not have adequate food, housing, medical care, and social mobility is a first world tragedy and it definitely makes the USA an outlier. What are we, as a nation, if a person working 40 hours isn't entitled to adequate food, housing, medical care, and social mobility? What does it men to be American, to you?

Everyone can be a millionaire if we print more money. Who cares if it takes a bucket of cash to buy a loaf bread

the sad thing is she isn't even cute, except by the standards of soi bois that can't get anything but beached whales to stand near them

don't forget when you kick out all the illegals and the H1B pajeets it's going to increase supply of housing which will lower cost.

Why doesn't she pass lows to lower costs of everything.

Well, my work did just cut everyone's hours. I'm up for a raise next month though. I'll play things by ear; but the banning guns thing will keep me from siding with them till the boogaloo.

A Tax Cut would be an effective wage increase (for everyone who pays taxes, anyway).

Citizens dividend per month. Tax the 1% top earners (jews) 90% if they make over 1m. If you are caught sending money or laundering it over seas its treason and you are hanged in public.

If you're (((bourgeoisie))) maybe. In a regulated market this would never happen.

argentinian here, doesnt that cause inflation? They keep doing that shit here every month.

Here's an economics/history lesson for you. We live in an oligarchy, are you a shill or just brainwashed.
James Cox
Yeah, that’ll work....

>40 hour week Kek Boomers consider that being lazy. Its more like a 70 hour week now and you still cant afford to live on that.
Robert Taylor
The only raise that would work long term is to back currency with a noninflationary asset like gold, silver, or crypto. Raising wages treats the symptom not the disease.
The problem with the free market is that since currency is fiat and the economy is inflationary wages are driven higher and higher as is the desire for ever greater profits to maintain purchasing power. In theory everyone should be free to find a different job but as everything rises in expenses entry becomes more and more exclusive and demanding. This would be fixed in part by a serious upheaval of monetary policy.
William Thompson
>this they already avoid paying taxes to begin with
Wyatt White
If anything we should lower wages
Joseph Hughes
C's get degrees in college, user. Any time she opens her mouth, it is painfully obvious that she was hungover or absent from every econ class she attended.
Arbitrarily paying everyone more "just because" is not a long term of economic solution, sadly.
That's what 'Occasional' Cortez doesn't understand. It's about time people realized there's no such thing as a 'free lunch'... Sometimes you need to show up early and stay late to get the job done. It's a work ethic that used to be commonplace in this country, and that's why we won two world wars as back to back world champions. People going above and beyond the call of duty (and NO i don't mean the video game!) Sometimes I wonder where this country is headed honestly.
>please give us more momey so we might not sell out
Instead of giving them more money on the chance that they might do the right thing (they wont) . How about we restrict the ability of congress to impose laws that restrict freedom. Then lobbyost wont lobby because congress wont have the power to carry out their wishes.
>restrict the ability of congress to impose laws that restrict freedom where's the source of these attacks? OUTLAW COMMUNISM, MARXISM, SOCIALISM Use the Military insurrection, Throw the oath breaking congress in supermax.
You are conspiracy theory. Washington, D.C. Mayor Marion Barry's autobiography Mayor for Life includes a colorful (and enthusiastic) description of the first time he snorted cocaine.

That's a great testament to the standards of the University more than her intelligence. She shouldn't be able to even get to an University much less graduate. I think her IQ hovers around 80.
Chase Flores
Let me explain how it works: If everyone gets a raise then the prices raise and all you have is higher inflation. If you give everyone 1 million bucks the bread will be 100k and that's it.

NEW NARRATIVE. How does a Security Clearance work when you pal around with Muslim Brother hood, Drug Cartels, Chinese Rat line, and then have a few USAF bases in your State?
thats not how it work at all you just tell yourself that because you're a coward who refuse to understand inflation is a direct result of the fractional banking system and usury hyper inflation destroyed the banking power and instead of blaming the bankster like the coward you are you blame the poor did i say how much i think you're a coward ?
Angel Cook
All these shills getting you to defend cuckservative usury in order to avoid today’s scariest caricature of a leftist. The right didn’t close the border, and the right didn’t prosecute the Clinton machine or rebuild the economy, so I’m finished with those twats. Show me someone who can get anything at all done that promotes justice, and I don’t give a fuck what side of the dialectic they’re playing on.
Matthew Stewart
>destroyed the buying power** also you're a coward
Gavin Anderson
Shut the fuck up you retarded Anti-Semite.
Christian Murphy
Yeah. So we have the fractional reserve system and usury, do you think that she's proposing abandoning the system and only then giving everyone a raise? The user that I responded to did not think about abandoning the system first neither
So yeah, my point stands: if you give all people a raise the toilet paper that we call money will be worth less because they will just print more. The fuck you don't understand I'm this? Even in the system where there is no fractional reserve and/or usury the demand/supply would lower the value of an oversupplied thing. Gold was always expensive and much more(relatively speking) expensive before than now. That was because the gold was considered much more scarce and it was, in reality more scarce then. Now of course the price of Gold is manipulated by the futures but it wasn't always a case and gold started to get cheaper with improved mining. So you see, the usury and the fractional reserve aren't solely responsible for the inflation, it's much more complicated than that. I wish we hot rid of the real problem. Instead idiots propose just giving people more money. Which WON'T fucking help anyone but the banks.
