Do you believe Americans who work full time should earn a living wage?

[NoDrama]

Where did the money that enabled average CEO income to increase from $819,000 in 1965 to $15,175,000 in 2013?

Can you stop the hyperbole? your $15 million figure is quite deceptive. It is based on the average salary of the top 350 companies in the world, not on the actual average CEO pay in the USA, which is $155,000 a year.

How many CEO's does it take to lower the standard of living? They simply have no respect for you, the community city or country. They don't live here.

And opportunities come a lot quicker for immigrants then they do Americans by the way.

If you wait for opportunity to come, bring a good book, it could take a while.

It's hard if you live in a state flooded with lobbing dollars.

What are you proposing you do?

Well I already stated before what I'm trying to do I'm trying to get into school to learn heating venting and AC. But also as I said before I know a lot of people that went to school and got out and could not find jobs in the career that they went to school for and are working right beside me making the same amount of money I make. So its not what I should do I do what Americans are supposed to do I work hard. But the richest of the rich in this country have stopped giving a fuck about the people that work hard and keep their country running and our wages have not kept up with the increased cost of living whatsoever.

So, what do you propose should happen?

So, what do you propose should happen?

Since 1970 minimum wage has risen by. 353%. But consumer prices have risen by 482%. What should happen is the increase in minimum wage should match if not exceed the increase in consumer prices.

Should any attention be paid to why consumer prices have risen?

Is there any correlation between rising prices and increased regulations ?

It all boils down to the fat cats at the top want more money. And they don't care how many heads they have to step on to get there.

It's always easier to accept your failings if you blame everyone but yourself, isn't it?

Wait a minute, weren't you just saying in so many words you want more money?

I'm a little puzzled. What is the significance of this post? Thanks in advance.

But I am NOT stepping on anyone's head to get it I work my ass off to get it. Companies used to take care of their employees that work hard for them they would pay them enough money to where they could take care of their families at home but now its not so.

Of course, then the answer is clearly 7.

I'm done with this thread you will just keep on repeating the same bullshit thinking that the people on this thread are lazy because we want more money for the hard work we do I probably do more work than any of you pricks have ever done in your life In a day. Just because you want to be able to have 3 Lamborghinis. So you can take all the money you want that I earn and just barely give me any of it. All of you people that believe that is right can go eat a fucking dick. Peace and love to all those out there trying their hardest to get by.

I have a John Deere tractor and grow a garden. I eat vegetables, cheese, nuts, eggs and sometimes meat. I do not eat dicks, or want even one Lamborghini.

I have a working prick too, I attribute that to my diet and good exercise and a fine relationship.

If restrictive regulations are removed, their power over you is lessened.

The free market is not the same as the crony market.
