We have been warned about SS for many years now, hell you can't depend on it now for retirement because it won't cover health care costs.
btw, they are make a killing in the market....yet. |
Yeah look how well "fair" wages worked for the auto industry. You would rather pay twice as much for the same product if it was American made? How exactly is that good for the consumer or vaunted middle class. The problem with your arguement is that in this country everyone has the opportunity to choose what they do. They also have the opportunity to start their own business if they arent satisfied with their current wages. To say that workers should be equally compensated in regards to profits of a company is foolish. Companis exist to make profits, not to serve as work programs. If a company owner thought that raising wages would benefit the company with added productivity they would do it in a heartbeat. But to simply give money to workers is counterproductive especially when business have downturns like all of them do. If the business isnt allowed to profit great enough to survive the downturns then how exactly is it better for the worker when they are laid off because the company went under? This is nothing but another form of class warfare that the Democrats wage. The thought that the evil owners of corporations are the enemy when it is their vision and ideas that have been putting food on your table for years is beautiful. Did somewhere along the line we become a communist state where everyone should be equally compensated?
