I truly like this guy, and his mindset. Unfortunately it doesn't work that simply. If McDonalds pays their employees $15 an hour one of 2 things WILL happen. The price of a big mac, (along with everything else on the menu) will double in price. OR they will invest in robots to make and serve your burgers. This isn't rocket science. Most industries operate on razor thin margins. Mandating that they pay employees more is not just unamerican, its inherently flawed. This guy can run up his margins as he sees. His competitors are not equipped to meet the same demand. A universal basic income is a good idea in the short term. In the long run it would have the same effect. Money would become less scarce ie. Less valuable. You'll be pushing ur Zimbabwe dollars in a wheelbarrow to the grocery store for a loaf of bread.

Successful investing is hard work because it means disciplining your mind to do the opposite of human nature. Buying during a panic, selling during euphoria, and holding on when you are bored and just craving a little action. Investing is 5% intellect and 95% temperament.
@Dave Delva I have been thinking about how to grow my reserve by atleast 40% or more within months. I will be grateful if you can give tips or anything on how to make good market picks and how I can get my portfolio diversified and balanced in order to meet up my target.
@alexsteven.m6414 I'd say that a good portion of successful investing is money. Like, 99% of investing is money. Someone starving on the street isn't going to be able to buy during a panic, and probably doesn't have anything to sell during euphoria. If I may be so bold, I'd say investing is virtually impossible for someone who has no money!

I once had breakfast with the owner of my company - who happens to be worth 40 Billion. I was already under paid by 25% according to the average in my MAJOR city. I asked for a raise just to hit the average so that I didn't have to live in the 'hood' as an executive and was told, it wasn't in the budget. Then later on I was told by a colleague that he feels that raises should never be given to employees for no reason... why? because he says it takes away their motivation to be better employees. WHAT?! That would've actually made me feel more loyal and more motivated to know that my hard work of working 60 hour weeks would actually get rewarded. 40 Billion! These folks just don't get it. There's nothing wrong with being rich, but why would you want to have a company full of full-time employees who have to work 2 jobs or live check to check or can't afford to buy a home, or have to be 30+ with 2-3 roommates. I just don't get it.
I had lunch with a old boss he asked what will make the employees happy I said better pay and 2weeks later they let me go.. Smh so much for being a Veteran
"Then later on I was told by a colleague that he feels that raises should never be given to employees for no reason." I agree. Why should someone's pay be increased when the value they bring to the company has not raised in turn?
@Ann Linley "Why can't people look for something else?" "Give me your money and I promise I’ll work harder." That's why. There more people than jobs, because there are enough crazy enough to work 60 hours a week. Nothing is more potent than envy. Rich people understand that. They learned to condition you to envy your co-workers instead of your bosses. They conditioned you to blame the poor, instead of the rich. They're the enemy, not your colleagues.

It was done for 40 years and our middle class prospered, our country prospered till Ronald Reagan and the GOP took it out in the 80s, its time to implement it again. They are the ones influence in our government and government officials. Why would we feel sorry for somebody who is wealthy that can pay enough taxes while we the middle class and lower-income struggle?
but then you have another problem people in goverment want to be rich and powerful also . so there going to push for more goverment bigger goverment more taxas and taxas . the bigger the goverment gets the smaller and poorer you will get. you see you can make more money now by getting a favor from the goverment than making a succesfull product

It is possible, however, to make sure every human understands their options and is given the tools to engage with one or more of those options. If they choose not to, then I guess they chose poverty. However, currently, people aren't even given a chance, and the less fortunate who have children aren't able to give those children a leg up, and it seems society doesn't want to either.

Successful investing is hard work because it means disciplining your mind to do the opposite of human nature. Buying during a panic, selling during euphoria, and holding on when you are bored and just craving a little action. Investing is 5% intellect and 95% temperament.
We have learnt in investing journey that you can't control the market but you have the power to control your actions in the market.

@alexsteven.m6414 I'd say that a good portion of successful investing is money. Like, 99% of investing is money. Someone starving on the street isn't going to be able to buy during a panic, and probably doesn't have anything to sell during euphoria.

Micky M. We could use the 455BILLION created by just a 1% increase on taxes on the top 1% to help pay off the stimulus checks that my generation are going to have to pay off in their taxes. It would help greatly in assisting the future generation because right now we’re struggling.
I once had breakfast with the owner of my company - who happens to be worth 40 Billion. I was already under paid by 25% according to the average in my MAJOR city. I asked for a raise just to hit the average so that I didn't have to live in the 'hood' as an executive and was told, it wasn't in the budget. Then later on I was told by a colleague that he feels that raises should never be given to employees for no reason... why? because he says it takes away their motivation to be better employees. WHAT?! That would've actually made me feel more loyal and more motivated to know that my hard work of working 60 hour weeks would actually get rewarded. 40 Billion! These folks just don't get it. There's nothing wrong with being rich, but why would you want to have a company full of full-time employees who have to work 2 jobs or live check to check or can't afford to buy a home, or have to be 30+ with 2-3 roommates. I just don't get it.

That's why. There more people than jobs, because there are enough crazy enough to work 60 hours a week. Nothing is more potent than envy. Rich people understand that. They learned to condition you to envy your co-workers instead of your bosses. They conditioned you to blame the poor, instead of the rich. They're the enemy, not your colleagues.

It's just like people responding to trump criticism with "WELL WHAT ABOUT HILLARY/OBAMA!?!?!?" Guess what. Neither are the president.
Point is: stop distracting a conversation about a solution by pointing the finger somewhere else. That's the opposite of intelligent.
Hey Dude How is using developing regions as an example stupid? The OP made a moral claim which if put into practice would cause a massive spike in unemployment via automation, but yeah, I'm the stupid one lol
Money is like blood. It has to keep circulating.
Refresh2b No, it's not. Where does growth come from? Productivity, which comes from investment, ie money. If money kept circulating like blood economic growth would grind to a halt.
@@alsmith5147 Youve never taken an economics class huh?
J R Clearly you haven't, if money was never invested then where do you expect productivity gains, which are the source of nearly all economic growth in the long run, to come from?
Al Smith Investments in productive businesses happen when venture capital goes into a business. They really don't need more stimulus. It's a balance between supply and demand and supply usually follows demand. It's the Cutthroat nature of business. Is apple going to produce a million + iPhones when there is no more demand? No. That's nonsense.
@@alsmith5147 So you're the internet investment genius. So everyone should just burn it if it's not to be circulated? Currency is created for circulation. That's it's purpose. Giving bad advise is that yours?
More Rich people could learn from a smart kind business owner that actually cares about his employees! God Bless HIM 💕!
Thank you to everyone who's left a positive or constructive comment. Being able to call this man my father makes me proud every day. Obviously I'm biased, but we need more open minded people like him involved in our politics.
This guy's a legend! Disses the economic theory of the right and goes to Waffle House.
Mr Prince is a moral & good man. His character & values are in line with the promise of America.
I truly hope that dark cloud of selfish, unchristian behaviour that has effected our country over the last few years is washed away this November. I believe the US senate shouldn't have a GOP majority for the next political cycle.
I'm a GOP member, who will be voting for Biden this year.
May need to vote Democrat after you vote for Bieden,one more time.
Finally a rich white man speaking facts
He is not speaking facts
@@magaacreyes I see; no intelligent lifeform to be found.
@@108nighthawk How so? What did he say that was incorrect?
@@FlagshipHistory Nothing. Conservatards don't use logic to make decisions. They emotionally lash out whenever someone opposes whatever their grandpa said about politics when they were kids.
Finally a rich black man speaking facts.....oh wait.
This gentleman should write a book, I would buy it. Great Man and Patriot.
Kudos to Ruth!
Lol he is no patriot.
Why doesn't this guy run for president? Hes got my vote!
Good people don’t want office, good people don’t like politics
I think it is because he's self-aware. He's great at leading a company. A county can't be run like a county. A nation lives and dies on compassion and hard choices.
I’m tearing up. This is touching
Thank you ... trickle down economics has and never will work
So it has worked but never will work? Are you an economist or do you just believe everything you see on this channel?
@Andrew Enriquez, I think they mean •never has and never will• .. because trickle-down is sham that only serves to take spending power away from the majority of people and inevitably leads to recession. That’s basic macroeconomics.
Edited for grammar
Andrew Enriquez are you doing better in life than this gentleman and an expert yourself???
Lorna Ceaser Trickle down economics doesn't exist, as for supply side economics the money supply did contribute to stagflation in the 1970s and investment did fall a lot.
a fair tax is low and voluntary …………………………………………..a sales tax on non essentials would be voluntary
This is the honesty and inner honesty that America needs.
This guy is woke af!
And the sad thing is a lot of people that have to 'choose between a baloney sandwich and health-care' voted for Trump.
@B VV something did change, affordable healthcare act has been ruled unconstitutional. They can't get healthcare with a pre-existing condition. This both sides are equal will destroy this country. There is only one party who is against what America stands for and that is the republicans. Seriously, have you not been paying attention. Think of their actions the last 10 years, what have they done where they put country before power or wealth.
How is it sad? Those people do not want to ve like the other pathetuc scabs who, much like a child, need to rely on others to provide for them.
@@108nighthawk- I hope you never find yourself in a similar predicament, but if you do, I hope your ignorant words come back to haunt you.
@@lmjones7716 Hopefully I am smart enough to save early and be o sured privately. Oh wait, look at that.
@@108nighthawk - A lot of people on the streets are former CEOs and higher management and had more money than you'll ever see in 10 lifetimes. You don't know what's around the corner...
He’s representing the 1% of the 1%... Anyways, he’s a very good example of conduct and empathy!
All I saw in this video is a guy that loves his country and his fellow man and that he wants both to succeed. If you saw anything else, you're adding your own prejudices.
Tell that to the guy worth a 20th of what he is worth and trying to get to where he got in life with low taxes helping him all the way up.
High taxes on established people don't affect them much.
High taxes on people trying to compete with established people effects them a LOT!!!
@@kkknotcool you know what a progressive taxrate is?
Taxing the rich is one way to reduce the unequal distribution of income in the US. They can also afford it more than the less fortunate ones.
As a middle class person I resent that people are rewarded for working minimum hours with EIC tax returns of thousands of dollars and I can barely afford to keep up with the basics cost of living and have to pay when rich dont
Dodgy Trump They already pay most of the taxes and if you want a Scandinavian welfare state then the middle class needs to pay far more taxes.
Why would we need to reduce unequal distribution
a fair tax is low and voluntary …………………………………………..a sales tax on non essentials would be voluntary
Who pays most of the taxes?
This guy is a president made. Bless you sir. Quote from the OG DMX "
STOP BEING GREEDY, GIVE TO THE NEDDY.
I will strive to be like this man ❤️
We must protect this man at all cost !
America needs more people who think like this man.
Actually...the WORLD needs more men like this guy!!
More millionaires who think like him, specifically. And I don't mean that we need more millionaires; I mean that the existing ones need to change!
People forget the extra taxes the poor pay. Bad interest rates, inability to buy bulk, longer paying rent, if not forever paying rent. And the basic fact necessities and basics like phone, car, internet, utilities are a higher percentage of total earnings.
brin Joness If those are taxes then the affluent and rich needing to live in far more expensive places for their incomes is a tax as well.
@@alsmith5147 that's an option
@@BriFiConnections Um, yes. How will you apply for job or access services, when those things have all gone online if you have no internet? If you have e no phone at all, how do you take calls to organise your work schedule or interviews, speak to public offices for assistance or arrange childcare? If you have no car, your employment options maybe limited, and limit your ability to support yourself and your family.

- There are many people who don't live in a major US city so there's not always a good bus system or a bus system at all
- Uber adds up QUICK. That's a sad suggestion.
- Many people have $50 androids, don't be fooled by all the iPhone owners. I meet people with cheap phones all the time.
- McDonalds & other public WiFi might work for some people but there's going to be times where that just isn't going to work.
J G It isn’t your obligation to help.
Has to be one of the best interviews on you tube!!! In 2019 it’s great to see people pushing for positive reforms!!!
This is unbelievably refreshing to hear! I didn't think people like this existed anymore. It's just simple humility and kindness and it shines so brightly in a world that is dark with fear and greed.
Thank you for been a human.
This man is a GANGSTA!!!! Love it. Bernie 2020✊✊✊

Marc D Did you not pay attention to this video?
Connor Fin Yeah I did and I don’t agree with this guy. More taxes is never a good idea
Marc D It is if it’s on the rich. Tax a few thousand people more and the entire economy is much better.
@@goldenhourkodak In what fairytale do you live? Do you even know what a shell company is?
poor and middle-class repubs:
“but we want to keep giving you all the money”
This guy gets it! When the richest were taxed at high rates created a golden age in America and we canhave it again!
Unless they leave. There’s a balance.
I mean yeah, the thing that made the 1920s boom was that there were very high taxes on wealth individuals. These were revoked after the great depression due to everyone losing a bunch of stuff so it wouldn’t be fair to tax the previously wealthy like before.
I don’t understand why we haven’t put those measures back in place since then.
Da revrend Correlation is not causation. The US golden age was caused by WWII, taxing the rich had nothing to do with it.
B VV you aren’t smart. Stop acting like you are, you’ve commented the same thing on every subthread but haven’t actually given a legitimate answer. It’s all sophistry.
Al Smith i wish economics was that simple. I tried to graduate with an Econ degree and i ended up switching to finance. Economics has so many variables, proofs, and datasets it is actually a bit insane. WWII certainly played a major role in putting the US on top during a global period of reconstruction, but great financial policy helped the US make good on that opportunity. We didn’t win the lottery by being on the winning side, but we did get the keys to castle in a sense. You know what I mean?
