In US news and current events today, millionaire Dan Price, CEO of Gravity Payments, begged his representatives to tax him more in order to increase funding that helps people experiencing homelessness.
“We can’t solve these systemic issues through private solutions,” Price said. “It can’t be done. We’ve tried over and over again.”
Dan Price has become known for his progressive activism after cutting his own salary by $1.3M to give all his employees a base salary of $70K.

"When I was poor and complained about inequality they said I was bitter; now that I'm rich and I complain about inequality they say I'm a hypocrite. I'm beginning to think they just don't want to talk about inequality."
Bernie be like
@SJW libtard wrecker so by your thinking because there has always been inequality we should just accept it, and if we want change we are crybaby losers, you are the epitome of what is wrong in sections of America.
@SJW libtard wrecker the wall street bail out is BY YOUR DEFINITION immoral. because wall street depended on the government for its survival. and they depend on government to write them tax laws that only benefit them. ACCORDING TO YOUR OWN TERMS. the rich are immoral.
@SJW libtard wrecker - I'ts not stealing, it's called taxes. It's what pays for everyones medicines development and the solution for covid19. It's what pays for elderly health care and for roads and police that protect your families. Stealing is wrong if it's taxes by your definition, what you suggesting would result is anarchy. I hope you never know polio or suffering, because it's that "stealing" as you call it that allows you to be "free".
@SJW libtard wrecker People like you are the problem with this world. Your self centeredness, selfishness, and lack of empathy for the plight of others. Not everyone was born with a boot strap like you, and millions of people have had their bootstraps taken away. Do you call the people that lost their homes, and became homeless due to banking corruption, losers with victim cry baby attitudes ? There are people working 2 to 3 jobs in this country who are still living paycheck to paycheck, and can't rise up above the poverty line. Are those people losers to you too ?
This guy is the embodiment of what the 1% loathes and despises
Sure this idea is great, but very very few people are like him and very few work for the benefit of others. Most people work for money. So they could buy ferraris, mansions and would never have to work again. This guy is different. He earns 70k a year. Which is comfortable but it cant afford luxury such as an expensive car. Most people get their motivation by working for that car and if they couldnt get to it because of taxes since they just wouldnt have enough spare money to get such things they, wouldnt be motivated and wouldnt expand their buisness which would end up for the worst. There would be 164846156489646516 different buisnesses and they would all earn the same amount. Doesnt matter if theyre macdonalds or some new bakery. Which is TERRIBLE. It is very similar to communism infact. Its the same idea and execution. So its basically modern day communsim.. And we know how that goes.
What i don't understand is just why not donate to charities or something? How about you spend YOUR money on the homeless and not force others to do the same.
@@SzaposJogdan2733 the reason is to help more homeless people? You know because basic math? More tax money equal to more help?

Not under capitalism.
Me either! I put over 4 years into a company working hard to keep the flow of freight moving only to have my position eliminated without any notice and replaced by multiple new employees.
I want to know how companies are making money when they're hiring more people with a total dollars per hour then the full timer they replaced.
For example I was making about $15 an hour when they let me go They then multiple full-timers to replace me at about $11 an hour.
What kickbacks are they getting from the government by hiring a quantity of more people rather than a quality of people who have put their blood and sweat into a job for years!!

That’s why we need a president with good moral values to help people who are needy.
Yeah, Bill Gates is a great example. The man donates most of his earning to charity and even creates his own non profit charity.
A real CEO that cares about employees. All CEOs should behave this way
if a company is publicly traded, they will value the success of the investor over that of the employee. if would be nice if all ceos had this philanthropic trait, but getting a business off the ground would be very difficult and there would be less opportunity for those making sound financial decisions. companies compensate for this discrepancy by providing stock options to their workers.
@@sjuvanet Define "sound financial decision."
And reducing your own salary to benefit your employees would increase production and also make employees happier and connect everyone in the company in a much better way. Employees will see that they are valued and appreciated and not just a number in a game.
Publicly traded companies, you're right, the issue is that the investor is valued more. However, as a CEO, choosing to reduce your own salary personally to benefit your employees does not affect your financing even if a company is publicly traded.

True
We studied his pay cut at school a few years back. What an amazing person
I think you studied in a very good school
can you briefly explain it to me? I want to know
@@epiawaken5346 basically he took a huge pay cut so everyone in his company could make $75,000 a year. There’s been studies about whether money affects happiness or not. And what the studies found is that it tends to affect those making under $75k causing more financial stress and worry but over 75k the happiness level was pretty consistent. His company put this to the test and from what I understand, it really worked for them.

Ultimate business chess move. If your employees don't have to worry about feeding their families as a result of something you do for them as the CEO of a company...yea....theyre going to like working for you a lot more and take pride and ownership in the role they play in making that company a success. Theyll have more mental energy since the stress of taking care of their family is greatly alleviated. The way to get more, is by giving.

Are you implying that you don't normally like millionaires? Do you understand the requirements for being a millionaire? Chances are you have some of your family. A millionaire is classified as somebody who has a million in assets under ownership. That does not mean that they have a 7-figure yearly income. Most millionaires are regular Americans with two incomes who make good financial decisions in retirement. You're casting a wide net with that dangerous rhetoric.
I would 100% give all my time to that CEO. He sounds like the boss we all deserve.

@@Kilamanjaro009 but it's the politicians who dont change anything when in power just allow the elite to keep getting richer
@@leesowden3870 I know that, but it's not something that all politicians are guilty. We've got to accept the fact that there are voters who are complicit with corruption and unregulated greed.

There are poor people in America voting to give tax cuts to rich people, and everything else that keeps poor people down. That's not normal.
That's what makes this country terrible. The politicians are the poison to our country. I hope we find a better system at some point. I'm 30 now. Idc if they find that new system when I'm 40, or 50, or even 90. We need a new system of government.

@@marlowe.1004 u awake
He literally said the problem cannot be solved with private solutions and he is talking to government officials to plead to them to step in. That’s not capitalism my dude.
@UA-cam Censors capitalism isnt moral because its not based on moral things like legitimate hard work. There is always someone at the bottom because he/she is lazy. HOWEVER there are even more at the bottom because they are forced to be. Everyone can't be rich in a capitalist society because capitalism at its core is not about being equal. This man is literally the boss and his employees can afford the same car he can. So what you say isn't true. It always depends on the perception of the boss. The ones who want power and prestige are going to make 3 lifetimes worth of more money than his/her employees. The ones who actually care about people are going to be like this one. But capitalism makes it look like caring is a weakness which its not.
MAN, respect to this man. He decides to get only the base salary of his *own* business instead of making the money he wants and forcing his employees to suffer a lower pay he is intentionally letting his employees make *more* than him and he's the CEO of the company. Kudos to this amazing man.
tbh he probably owns the company so he can sell it later for some cash, plus he pays less taxes now since he makes under 100k
Now this is an individual and company that is worth working for
Because he wants to Be taxed more?

@@Jackholiday1025 🤢....🤮
Jack Holiday Chances are, you and him are not taxed at the same rate, so why should you be worried?
Chances are, a millionaire and entrepreneur like him already did the math and thinks he can sacrifice a couple bucks for government use. If he doesn’t, he already had accountants to that for him.
Because let’s be real here: no matter how big a charity is, they can’t do everything. They can’t guarantee housing, regulate the prices of healthcare, enforces the law, etc. Not even charities like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (owned by the richest person in the world) can do it. All the work that charity does are good, but a lot of them are short-term and has small impact. To enact better and more concrete change, they need to work together with the government, since only the government has authority in those area.
@@Jackholiday1025 Because America has a rich history of a more progressive tax code that made everyone more prosperous. FDR got elected 4 times because of his popular financial policies. America just needs to return to its rich history of well regulated capitalism in the social Democracy style.
@@Dennzer1
What you just wrote explains part of the problem, FDR's policies extended the depression by years. People didn't vote for him because his policies were correct or successful. They voted for him because of good PR, and the incumbent wins during a crisis. By the way, a progressive tax rate does not cause success. I'm not sure where you get your ideas and information from but you should never go back there.

@UA-cam Censors The "hard work leads to riches" cliche is getting old. You think life works the way we want it too, and that we have complete control over the situation in our lives? You think it takes hard work to make a million dollars? More like boomer propaganda that you're taking in, so they can feel good about owning a house even though they got it working in a grocery store.
It's funny how the very same people who often hate Christianity for its "intolerance" adhere to their own woke religion to which they swear a fierce Allegiance and wish to install a theocracy.
@UA-cam Censors Than it would be do it all yourself. Without them there is no company, no money made, well a much much smaller fraction. Greed is what is killing capitalism. .
@Diego Jerez thats not true. compensation isnt based on the cost of living. compensation is based off the value you bring to the company. if you want to earn more, start your own company and take the risk, learn some skills and make yourself valuable, etc. dont just expect money because you exist.
“It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to our friends.”

@@Potjandorie Typical selfish rubbish. Tell yourself whatever helps you sleep at night my friend, but know this. You're part of the problem.
@@Potjandorie Perhaps the perspective you should consider is that people have different skill sets and strengths. Being a top-tier businessman doesn't mean you are remotely able to do the job of your company technician, nor does it mean you could handle the attention to detail required to accountancy. A business owner may have ideas and direction, but he cannot execute without his team. Similarly, the team has nowhere to work should there be no business owner. It's a symbiotic relationship where everyone depends on each other to sustain themselves.
What you're expressing is the idea that there is no motivation whatsoever to run a business if you aren't earning more than anyone else. Never mind that that discounts any business started on basis of an ideal or a passion (Which are far fewer in number as opposed to profit motives, of course), it assumes that the business owner has to be placed on a pedestal higher than the other workers. But the motivation could simply be to earn your living doing a job (management) you might be strong in, versus doing a job you aren't good at.
This of course doesn't have to discount the concept of skilled labor and education. In the video the CEO expressed a 70k minimum income for all his workers, but assuming that is what his lowest skilled worker (like a cleaner) makes, his higher skilled workers could easily make double or triple that amount.
And this all rounds back to your point that companies have to raise the price of products in order to make up for paying their employees more. That is a falsely attributed point. Companies cannot raise wages without raising prices because it would result in the owners or shareholders earning less. And as I'm sure dozens of people have mentioned, these are normally people earning far more money than they could possibly ever know what to do with. If they're earning 10 million dollars a year, how much would their lifestyles change if that got reduced to 8 million? Lets be realistic here - not much, and that's the point.
As someone who was homeless from the age of 14 - 18, mad respect for this man.
Now THAT'S an ethical thinking entrepreneur. He really cares you can see it in his eyes.

imagine making sure your employees have a living wage and the city most of them live in decides to increase the amount of money to live
the city didn't "increase" anything, it's just that because people had more income, demand grew but because it's safe to assume supply didn't at least short term, there was a price-increase
Angelos Koulas Thanks finally someone with brain👍🏿👍🏿
@@angeloskoulas3988 highly agree but the point Dan is pushing in the video I guess is that yes he did his job and supplied them with the money they need. and the fact that supply and demand works in such a way that 1 company increasing their employee pay slips can affect the whole system to the point of it maxing back out again (I can assume) is the systematic problem that the private sector cannot solve itself as he said. I'm not arguing against you haha I'm just trying to make sense of it.
Angelos Koulas I don’t believe they were talking about the city although the way they worded it is weird I think they were just stating that it is stupid that giving some a living wage causes that to happen it shouldn’t work like that

honestly, who likes seeing their streets littered with homeless people? do we really want people sleeping on the streets all across america while we walk around in dolce and gabbana?
Do you think it's helpful to classify homeless people as "litter". Could that be the problem? They're seen as inconvenience and irritations, rather than HUMANS who need help! I don't think you were malicious, I think the way you said it just highlights a disregard that this is viewed through, even if unintentional.
The major problem is that rich people think that experiencing homelessness is a character flaw. They think that being poor is a due to a lack of effort, not a lack of capital. They think that the American dream is still possible. There’s a good saying goes something like this : being poor is not a lack of character it’s a lack of capital
Infinite Sentient well to be honest, it’s problematic to refer to someone as a “homeless person”. With that language you’re putting them in a seperate category to the rest of us. The best way to say it is “someone experiencing homelessness”. Nobody is a “homeless person”. It’s not a tag you get that stays with you forever or some sort of disease
@@danthomas529 Very well said!
It's always easy to punch down at those who can't stand for themselves. I spent 2 years homeless. The ONLY thing that let me out was that I was still young and healthy enough to work my way back out and had family to ask of help. If it were to happen now.....I'd die that way. I'm not a defeatist, I'm just disabled now and couldn't work my way back out again. Most people don't realize they're ONLY one or two paychecks from homelessness.

Just like to point out that this is the antithesis of Capitalism. The fundamental principle of Capitalism is that must be a winner and a loser.
I'd say this is ideally what "trickle down economics" is. Where the rich forgo their individual desires to help others attain the comforts they have. Which is obviously abhorrent to almost anyone who has actually championed "trickle down economics".

@SJW libtard wrecker get bent
@SJW libtard wrecker You already do. The ultra rich pay a lower effective tax rate than the middle class. and a historically low % of the total tax burden. Wall Street gets huge tax payer funded bail outs. socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for everyone else.
Also, The USA has a rich history of a more progressive tax structure. FDR was so populAR THAT HE WAS ELECTED 4 TIMES. Republicans came up with term limits for the presidency after that. Just return 50% of the way it used to be in that era in terms of taxes, and the country improves for everyone.

Sure this idea is great, but very very few people are like him and very few work for the benefit of others. Most people work for money. So they could buy ferraris, mansions and would never have to work again. This guy is different. He earns 70k a year. Which is comfortable but it cant afford luxury such as an expensive car. Most people get their motivation by working for that car and if they couldnt get to it because of taxes since they just wouldnt have enough spare money to get such things they, wouldnt be motivated and wouldnt expand their buisness which would end up for the worst. There would be 164846156489646516 different buisnesses and they would all earn the same amount. Doesnt matter if theyre macdonalds or some new bakery. Which is TERRIBLE. It is very similar to communism infact. Its the same idea and execution. So its basically modern day communsim.. And we know how that goes.

inflation and wage increases goes hand in hand
but also, yes, life gets more expensive and wages go up, but when you travel to other country, and your currency is dollar, or pound, you feel like a king

Turtle Extra Yeah 100%. Money circulates which is normal, it’s just when theres too much money circulating.
That's where a free economy comes in place. As soon as the customers start buying from other companies that charge less... the prices must al come down. Law of Supply and Demand... one of the first economical principles you should be aware of.
You know our country has major issues when all the millionaires who use shady tactics, underpay their employees, blackmail, scam, etc. etc. are the ones who get elected to government positions while the millionaires who run their businesses with integrity and genuine transparency and value their employees instead of abusing their position of power face an uphill battle when they attempt to truly serve and make our country a better place, especially in politics because they can’t and won’t pay people off and manipulate their way into congress or HOR like so many of our politicians unfortunately do.

@UA-cam Censors bruh stfu
@UA-cam Censors there are highly skilled people everywhere, not everyone is given the same opportunity. Regarding life choices, again, not everyone is starting with the same footing. So you're telling me you don't want people to have a livable wage? That poor people are poor because they're lazy and they're just not applying themselves enough? 🙄 Are you a boomer? Lmao
@UA-cam Censors an average McDonald’s employee has to work 1 full hour to pay for a average McDonald’s meal. When McDonald’s itself is making billions of dollars in profits a year .
@UA-cam Censorsfirstly, that's cool and all. Rich people should still be taxed accordingly.
Secondly, I agree, but too many times have a person's value been judged based on not only skill, but looks as well, and that's a problem.
Third, that's an incredibly obvious thing to say. Of course your life is dependent on the actions you make. For a lot of people in the US though, the amount of "life choices" they have are severely limited, because they live paycheck to paycheck, unable to put anything into savings, so they can't pay for education, or a new place, or a car.
Fourth, imagine thinking that all a fast food worker does is put fries in a bag.
@UA-cam Censors yeah cause people born into poor income neighborhoods with bad education deserve to be poor. Stupid poor people why can't they just be better and work harder. If they weren't taught necessary skills because the education in their area is poor they should just work harder despite the fault not being their own. Who cares about giving people living wages so they don't go homeless, it's just because they don't work hard enough there are absolutely no external factors involved that directly impact someone's quality of life.
Who cares about being more productive as a society because we made sure everyone had an incentive to work, we should just let the poor be poor without helping them./s

Government : Well Now I Will Not do it
the difference is the Government taxes POOR people, not rich. The system is designed to cut taxes for the wealthy as much as possible. Since this guy is a millionaire, he falls into that wealthy category which is why they dont want to tax him more.
@@eragon78 theirs always a reason why The government doesn't tax the rich that much because entreprenuers provide jobs,Services,Goods,Luxuries,homes and etc. the goal of every government is to benefit the people but the government can't handle on its own so they favor the entreprenuers to provide services to the people like jobs,services,goods,luxuries and etc. theirs also Tax benefits for the working middle class like donating to the charity, orphans or poor people the only difference is those who are entreprenuers have more opportunities than the working middle class. but don't bother because even thou the the rich has more opportunities than the middle class it doesn't mean you need to be in the middle class the government will appreciate that you will become a successful entreprenuer from middle class to become an entreprenuer and also the government will give you the tax benefits when you made it if you provide service.
@@FowlorTheRooster1990 You are not willing to take calculated risks, so you don't reap the benefits. Say there are two separate farmers (A&B), and they want to increase their profits. Invest in an improving their equipment could be a possibility. But there is a possibility that improved equipment wouldn't increase production enough to gain back the money spent on equipment at a reasonable time, and a possibility that the farmers wouldn't profit from the decision, so there is a risk. Because of that risk Farmer B doesn't invest, but Farmer A does. The equipment does end up increasing the production enough to increase profit, so Farmer A reaps the benefits while Farmer B does not. Now let's say Farmer B works for Farmer A in a way that Farmer B does all the physical labor and Farmer A makes all the decisions. Because of their positions they agree on Farmer B being paid $30 an hour no matter the state of the company since Farmer A is making the business decisions that impact the company, and Farmer B's labor would be roughly the same regardless. Let's say Farmer A decides to hire another worker, and that in turn makes the company lose some of it's profit. Farmer A takes that loss and Farmer B still gets paid 30 an hour. Now if later the decision ends increasing production enough to gain a big increase in profit, Farmer A reaps that benefit, and Farmer B and the additional worker who did not make the decision, did not. My point is if somebody is not willing to risk depending on the state of the company for income because of potential loses, then why should they gain when the company does well?
@@FowlorTheRooster1990 Yeah, sorry about that. I thought you were responding to the comment above me, since it explains why they get taxed less and not the other way around, but I didn't read who you tagged. Also, a loss just means the business isn't doing as well as it was before, which happens all the time.

I remember when he first increased his staffs wages and so many people said his business would fail and laughed at him but they all got real quiet when he actually grew his business. Also the most heartwarming little story is during covid his company was just 3 months away from being forced to close and his staff came to him and asked to give up some of their wages to help keep the company going, one man even worked for free as his partners wage could pay the bills, I guess you reap what you sow. Not only did his company make it out of the covid restrictions but also helped many other small businesses to stay afloat, there is a great video about it on UA-cam

Conservatives insist that giving your employees a raise like that will disincentivize them from working, but if you were working, even as a janitor, for $70k a year, wouldn't you do everything you could to keep that job?
THIS. All republicans need to hear this!
No republicans at least a sensible one would say that
It’s not wrong to give people a raise but it what’s wrong is being forced to give everyone a raise because they feel like they’re entitled to one raises are at the employers discretion

@Juan Two Three Yeah, no one would ever care about doing a janitor's work for $35k a year, bootlicker. People still deserve to make ends meet.
CEOs should be content with $35k a year. If they aren't incentivized enough to do good work at that salary, then they definitely don't deserve to make any more. They should just be happy and grateful to serve others, like good little slaves. If they can't afford groceries, that's too bad. They should improve the quality of their work, and maybe then they can have a raise.
