Haha, this is literally the typical american, no one is actually poor they're just temporarily embarrassed millionaires. Yeah sure, ALL of you will be millionaires one day. Haha, reminds me of that study where 90% of drivers thought they were better than average. So fucking delusional. Unfortunately in the real world someone has to be average and even below averag, and most of you will be these people, NOT the millionaires. Wake the fuck up already retards.

>>11117014

or maybe it's wages not rising along with productivity or even inflation. who wouldn't bitch about making slave wages

>>11116582
The solution is simple...
Make Unions Great Again

The US is ridiculously unequal, it's the only third world country by it's own will

90% of Millenials in Venezuela and North Korea will eat rat for dinner tonight.

But then when you realize the average normie blows their salary on lifestyles they can’t afford instead of invest, and makes retard tier life decisions like fuck without a condom at age 16 or major in sociology, you feel very smart all of a sudden for being a virgin CS major who lives like a pauper.

This. I lived in Laos. Zero income inequality. Everyone is poor.

>>11116620
This one is the biggest structural problem

To have people who are not ultra rich defending this system is one of the most spectacular propaganda coups of the 20th/21th Century. It's honestly a spectacular piece of brainwashing.
They are made to think in this completely dipolar delusion where the only alternative to the massive structural inequality and looting from the majority by the one percent is "muh communism" which is a bogieman drilled right into the heart of their minds since the 50s.
They will shut down conversations about how to better structure capitalism for their own wellbeing by shouting it down as being "communist", and only defend an extremist position that literally makes their own life worse. Think about that from a propaganda perspective. It's honestly fucking amazing.

It annoys me how retarded americunts are. Why the fuck are you allowing your corporate overlords to rob yourself for all the resources and the chance for a decent future?
Unironically guillotine them now

>>11116582
They point to data showing that productivity has risen sharply since the 1970s while wages have stagnated. They conclude that productivity-driven economic growth does not necessarily benefit American workers.

These claims rest on misinterpreted economic statistics. They juxtapose productivity and pay[1] data that cannot be directly compared, leading to inaccurate conclusions. The claim that pay has lagged far behind productivity growth:

-Examines wage growth instead of total compensation, which includes rapidly growing benefits;
-Uses different price indexes to adjust pay and productivity for inflation;
-Omits the effect of faster depreciation, which reduces net income but not gross productivity; and
-Ignores known measurement errors in Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) productivity calculations.

I don't care about the statistics, they are just an instrument for manipulation. What matters, and what I can easily see, is that the quality of the products ( and food ) has been steadily declining. They are not only destroying good jobs by moving them abroad, they are not only exploiting people for labour, but they are also selling you complete garbage, that has been engineered not to last. Buy and demand local products, boycott the multinational jew.

Fucking keking at that pic

>ignores the insane, skyrocketing costs of necessities: housing, education, and healthcare

Heritage Foundation is also the ideologically-possessed institute that brought us the "Affordable" Care Act.

If there weren't a problem with wages not keeping up with requisite expenses, we would not see the flood of populist support for Trump and Sanders. The proof is in the pudding, no matter how the Lords of the "Free" Market try to spin it.

Good luck with your IQ, you're going to need it.

>>11117651
this is unironically the trump voting base which is a staggering number of people in this country

holy fuck

>>11117873
It's just debunking the wages vs. productivity thing. I agree with you about the sky rocketing costs of those things, but that's because of government, not the free market.

There is an astonishingly large amount of dirty libs ITT

>Muh libs

I'm a conservative, I don't like people being exploited by corporations. You're just a corporate bootlicker. No one wants small businesses to pay more taxes, no one wants you to pay more taxes. In fact, less is better. But it is ignorant of you to not see that multinationals and corporations are getting huge tax cuts and those go straight into the pocket of the board of directors, not the workers, not middle management.

In America, people get fucked by their corporate overlords. In Europe, however, people get fucked by their government overlords.
