I agree. And you saying this made me really think. If this is true, then it is the moral responsibility of those who fall in between to help the poor. More specifically, these people should, only if they have the means, help those who are poor. History has taught us there is no help for the wealthy. Therefore, those who have the means to help have a moral obligation to do so in a civil society.
@@flourishingrecovery And when those in the middle can't afford to take care of themselves thanks to corporate greed allowed by our corrupt politicians, then those poor people get ZERO help!! How many of those rich people tout that they are "Christian" while turning their noses up at the impoverished? Also, the middle pays enough in taxes that there should be a certain level of socialism here. Yet there isn't. We paid $11 BILLION dollars in tax payer subsidies to pharma companies for their R&D just to have some prescriptions come out costing $200,00 PER DOSE - with ZERO price checks from our government - and those same exact drugs cost maybe $20,000 in every other country. Because their governments protect them from corporate greed. Unlike here in the US where almost every politician on BOTH sides are bought by those corporations and is why there is no policy to help people. And SCOTUS is getting ready to allow corporations to pollute our air and water at will. Profits over people every time in this corrupt country!!! Vote them ALL out!!
ABSOFUCKINGLUTLY. 85% of the reasons prices went crazy durring covid have been resolved but not one price came down. Hell no, they keep going up. Supply chain issues are low and have been for quite a while. Everyone who has the power to do something about this is owned by those who are sucking in the profit.
Are you that dumb? All corporations just decided together to raise their prices, oddly right after Democrats printed 6 trillion in funny money and infused it into the currency market. Take some F'ing 5th grade economics classes and turn off MS-LSD. Learn to think.
Rent in most places exceed over 1000. Working in fast food as a grown person and making less than that, you can't live. Why can't people get paid based on a living wage?
Because if they did, rich white people would be *ever so slightly* less rich, and they would quite literally rather watch everybody else die, then die themselves, than accept being a tiny bit less wealthy.
If workers aren't payed enough, how are they expected to be able to pay for the things they need and keep the money circulating through the economy? Don't these companies understand that they can't make money if people don't have money to spend? Not only is paying your workers a livable wage is the right and humane thing to do, but not doing so is stupid because it not only will hurt the poor workers, but hurt the entire economy.
Corporations are incentivised to keep wages low in order to increase profits. Incentives like tax laws that permit companies to pay $0 in taxes while raking in record profits, corporate subsidies and bail outs, monopolistic corporations overpriced, short-lived goods and shitty services, government officials allowing corporations and corporate lobbyists to write and pay off the "fairly elected representatives of the people" to then pass said law, and then there is the whole little thing about money and corruption in American politics. Oh, and let's not forget what those companies who are making historical record-breaking profits are then doing with it. Instead of investing in the wellbeing of the very people who enable them to make all that money, they turn around and put it "into the economy" by stock buybacks.
I just got a $2,00 raise at work last month, and it was the happiest day of the year for me. Not sure what argument people have against making life a little easier for hard working Americans.
More nonsense...want to impress me, set the maximum Credit Card APR, any, and all rates to 12%. Nothing more. If a family can afford to pay rent that would be more than a mortgage payment, they should be allowed to purchase a home.
If this keeps up next thing you know these greedy middle-class bastards will be able to afford to buy a house, pay off their student loans, take a vacation, etc...
Wage growth makes no noticble changes to inflation. Tariffs do. When Tariffs get passed, corporations raise their prices to just under the new price that tariffs make foreign goods. Imagine a widget cost $100. When Trump passed 25% tariffs, that widget went from $100 to $125 when imported. This allowed American businesses to raise the price of their widgets from $100 to $124, which allows them a competitive advantage against imported widgets while simultaneously maximizing profits for shareholders. This rise in price is inflation to us.
If Americans don't have money in their pocket then they can't buy anything. If they can't buy anything then the economy collapses and billionaires can't get their profits. I just don't get rich people.
If Faux news is so concerned about workers being overpaid, they should cut their salaries in half! They have do nothing jobs that are not important at all! Cut your pay and show us you really care.
Acting like people in the US OFTEN not having even a small to moderate emergency problem will be magically solved by raising the minimum wage is INSANELY clueless.
Come on the only people who deserve a pay increase are the Top Executives, CEO's, and shareholders. The regular workers who actually do the work can go pound sand.
And American workers will support what this guy says because they are temporarily embarrassed millionaires and they cant wait to benefit in a few years time when they pay their workers as little as possible.
How about capping interest rates on credit cards? Currently I receive barely 1% on my tiny savings account, but get charged over 20% on credit card balances?????
I love how all the people doing this BS are making a nice bundle every month - complaining about other people getting actually paid for their work / worth.
Wage increases are not the major cause of the inflation many countries are dealing with. This inflationary pressure is from the supply side, caused by suppliers of goods having higher costs BUT ALSO from those same suppliers taking advantage of that to massively jack up prices when not needed. Workers only want a wage increase that compensates for those higher prices which has a very minimal effect on inflation if at all. Suppliers see _some_ increases in cost so they greedily increase _all_ prices and often by more than they need to.
" inflationary pressure is from the supply side, caused by suppliers of goods having higher costs"...Why do suppliers have higher costs that cause inflation? Hint: A banking cartel that has a printing press that is used to debase the currency. And an out-of-control Congress that keeps spending money that they do not have.
FYI, accountant here, companies do NOT make record profits if their costs go up. They make them when their costs stay the same (or close to it) and they still raise prices. They do that because they can due to lack of competition (monopolies) and lack of regulation on price gouging. CEO pay has increased 1460% from 1978-2021 where worker pay has increased 18.1% in the same time period. So WORKER pay has nothing to do with it.
I thought they were all about the money, but they have a problem when everybody acts the same way. Seems like there's a gaping hole in their philosophy.
I hear this crap all the time... "It will make the prices on items go Up thats so stupid!!" si i say, " well when prices go up with no wage increases whats the reason then?" they ignore ignore ignore
Price gouging everywhere u look housing drug companies food health insurance companies utilities and gas prices all profits across America are in record territory 80 percent best profit in there history why gouging
There is no better time since the 1950’s for labor to concentrate their efforts on organizing. Democrats need to push higher minimum wage as well. The numbers are against corporations. They need workers, and for once labor has the upper hand
If you haven't gotten a pay raise in the last 4 years and you aren't rich your employer owes you one. They are charging more so you should be making more. You have to go and get yours no one is going to just give it to you.
It’s not price fixing , we know that some of the increased prices include both increased costs as well as a tempting chance for a money grab price increases while using inflation as a shield.
No they actually deserve much more than someone who works behind a computer.. because labor is actual work and your body burns more calories more wear and tear on the body. I was a miner in Northern Ontario Canada and made about 120,000 a year before I retired good union mine mill and smelter workers 598 with a good pension and benefits at 53 for 30 years service. Basically I was a glorified laborer because I used my body. I am a genXer not a boomer so please don't put me in a camp ...
That's the problem - people don't think about what they actually accomplish, only what they think they "deserve". Well, if you accomplish nothing, you deserve nothing. End of story.
No one whines or lies quite like the über wealthy... poor Martha, she needs to protect her seven million dollar salary... "When rich men cry..."

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies,” Jefferson wrote. "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around (these banks) will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered... The issuing power of currency shall be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.” - Thomas Jefferson, 1806
Wages are suppose to rise faster than inflation. If the inflation is 10% an year you shoud be gettin 15% payrase an year. This inflation is a choise that the big companys executives have done. The real inflation ended after covid. In other countrys there is very little if any inflation. I live in Finland and our wages are rising faster than the price of housing, food and energy. It's mostly just american workers beeing conned by american companys in both wages and prices.
so inflation is at the lowest it has EVER been and yet prices keep going up and up, so yeah BUTTaroma big business and cooperations are the reason that prices continue to go up!!! when it costs 3 to 5 dollars to make and business want to charge you $100 for that product then its a MASSIVE problem!!!! in my opinion they need to crack down on businesses charging more than 100% of the cost to manufacture!!!!
@@aaronscott8837last time minimum wage went up my boss gave everyone a pay raise just to keep people from leaving. The owners just pass the extra money that he has to pay people down to the customer labor .
Isn't it disgusting to think that average Joe or Jolene could climb the ladder of success? What an all out revolting concept. Kindness and fair play make this world a better place for all. So lean into love rather than discourage it.
Thank you so much, Ana! So many hard-working people just do not have the time an energy to digest the b.S. in politics. It is a great start...I will do my further investigation as a follow-up!
Most price hikes are not deceptive or fraudulent, inasmuch as no claim is offered to justify them; no such claim is needed to change the price tag! As for ‘unfairness’, what is that supposed to mean in a system governed by the rule of maximal profit?!
When you buy a house you want to live in, would you try to convince your lender that the house is valued at the highest possible valuation or the lowest?
The faux hysteria on Fox over capped late fees is nauseating. Bank overdraft fees and credit card late fees are/were preditory. Democrats quietly capped both. Thank you. Back overdraft fees in particular, were outrageous. School loans, preditory fees, higher wages, labor protections, support for unions, and otherwise unraveling the damage Trump inflicted.....thank you, President Biden. VOTE BLUE.
Inflation is caused by a combination of two things: rising profits or rising wages. No reasonable person can say that the current levels of inflation are being caused because wage earners have things too good. Under capitalism, the only tool to address inflation that is recognized is increasing interest rates, because this creates unemployment which makes wage earners more desperate, and willing to do the same work for less money. The reason this didn’t really work last time is because workers wages are already at rock bottom. If you want inflation to go down then corporations need to be made less profitable… which means corporate taxes need to go up.
So, after some 40 years, wages are starting to rise at the same rate as inflation.... Now, we need to do something about the 40 years wages were falling behind.
No idea what you’re even arguing for, there is competition other than all the monopolies, and minimum wage is a different issue, it’s not like competition between companies would stop if their workers were paid correctly
What would happen if everyone stopped using their credit cards for a year? Just asking. F#ck the perks. So glad I stopped using my credit cards 2 yrs ago and have been finding other perks.
Labor unions enable workers to organize in negotiation with already massively organized capital. Without collective bargaining, big capital would drown the feeble free market in a two-gallon pail.
Hey dude at the beginning of the video, low jobless numbers MEANS you have to raise wages to attract workers because workers now have many more options to employment. Wtf? Try economics 101 before going on national television and talking out your arse.
Hardworking people make Elon Musk very Rich, nothing wrong with that, but take care of your workers, and give them decent wages so they can live a good life, go to Europe everybody gets paid well and lives well. The United States getting more greedy than ever, while CEOs get 40 million in bonuses and buyback stocks it's wrong😮😮😮😮😮😮
"I'll use my checking account instead". Wow. We haven't had checks here for what seems like ages. (I read up, apparently it is still possible to pay via checks here in Sweden, but there are steep fees if you do so. Finland, a neighboring country, stopped issue checks to private citizens in 1993).
She calls it a checking account because that is what the account is called - a CHECKING account as opposed to a SAVINGS account. It doesn't mean she uses actual checks. In fact, most of us have a checking account but not physical checks as we use our debit cards instead. Don't be fooled by what the account is called. The only people who still write checks are the Baby Boomer generation (my mom's generation, I'm GenX). They don't like paying online and still have all of their bills physically mailed to them. Then, they write a check and mail that payment in. I told my mom that when she's too old to do her own bill paying that I'm switching all her stuff to emailed bills, auto payments and manual online payments (since I'll be doing it).
The Fox anchors should agree to cut their salaries in half for inflation.
Imagine being corrupt enough that you think it's a bad thing that people actually earn a little more money.
It's about time. They need to stop those fees that are out of control. You owe $10 and they charge you $38 in late fees.
when all you know is privilege, equality feels like a personal attack.
The problem isn't only inflation.
The 1% got greedier, and corporate gouging is driving up prices.
The rich are _rewarded_ for being wealthy…
The poor are _punished_ for trying to survive in poverty.

How dare inflation mean that wages need to increase to keep up so people can pay their bills (barely)
First they piss and moan about wages not keeping up with inflation, then they complain that wages are too fricking high. Either way they complain.

Millionaires complaining that poor people are making less than a living.

Break up the monopolies. Inflation will be less.

Doesn't he realize that workers having more money means consumers having more spending money means more money in companies ' pockets?
Financial institutions make more money from fees . Like billions of dollars.
The market. Is not limiting prices on grocery store groups. The price gouging is blatant and so is price gouging on gas prices
The current housing market illustrates markets alone can’t properly set prices.

It would be great if we had compition in the market
Min Wage is literally anti Free Market and Competition.
No idea what you’re even arguing for, there is competition other than all the monopolies, and minimum wage is a different issue, it’s not like competition between companies would stop if their workers were paid correctly
@helpumuch6887 there are several parts of the economy that are controlled by only a few companies that owe smaller companies but is still a monopoly
@@helpumuch6887 and monopolies need to not exist
What would happen if everyone stopped using their credit cards for a year? Just asking. F#ck the perks. So glad I stopped using my credit cards 2 yrs ago and have been finding other perks.
Wtf r u about publicity stunts. They're not stunts. And STILL they do more than the repers
Amen!
Labor unions enable workers to organize in negotiation with already massively organized capital. Without collective bargaining, big capital would drown the feeble free market in a two-gallon pail.
Hey dude at the beginning of the video, low jobless numbers MEANS you have to raise wages to attract workers because workers now have many more options to employment. Wtf? Try economics 101 before going on national television and talking out your arse.
Corporate shareholders found that paying workers well increased their own earnings.
I recently heard them say on Fox that Trump is the working class president 😂😂😂

Hardworking people make Elon Musk very Rich, nothing wrong with that, but take care of your workers, and give them decent wages so they can live a good life, go to Europe everybody gets paid well and lives well. The United States getting more greedy than ever, while CEOs get 40 million in bonuses and buyback stocks it's wrong😮😮😮😮😮😮
Quote of the year...
"Workers be makin too much money yo"

"I'll use my checking account instead". Wow. We haven't had checks here for what seems like ages. (I read up, apparently it is still possible to pay via checks here in Sweden, but there are steep fees if you do so. Finland, a neighboring country, stopped issue checks to private citizens in 1993).
She calls it a checking account because that is what the account is called - a CHECKING account as opposed to a SAVINGS account. It doesn't mean she uses actual checks. In fact, most of us have a checking account but not physical checks as we use our debit cards instead. Don't be fooled by what the account is called. The only people who still write checks are the Baby Boomer generation (my mom's generation, I'm GenX). They don't like paying online and still have all of their bills physically mailed to them. Then, they write a check and mail that payment in. I told my mom that when she's too old to do her own bill paying that I'm switching all her stuff to emailed bills, auto payments and manual online payments (since I'll be doing it).
@@pagandragon830Well, but, didn't she say she was going to actually write checks instead? So it was not only what the account type was called.
Working class vs right wing conservatives.
More power to the ordinary people!
