No one is particularly keen on politics these days, it seems nobody (in politics) is looking out for the 'working class' and we're sick & tired of hearing about the 'plight' of the middle class while the working poor are ignored.
Yes, we know we are supposed to 'assume' the middle class includes the 'working class' while the media pretends the only ones that matter are the ten percent that keep an eye on the one-tenth of a percent's 'interests'.
Again, the (corporate owned) media 'advertises' that we live in a 'classless' society but we all know the dirty admission that comes out when the sleazeballs start stumping for your vote: the only ones who matter are the 'Haves' and the 'Have mores.'
Um, there is a movement out there (among those who have to live on the minimum a 'willing buyer' will pay them) to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour...
Growing up the minimum wage was less than a dollar an hour but I was much better off then than now because my dollar bought more...which is to opine the problem isn't in how many dollars you earn but in how much your dollar buys! Having more dollars won't put a dent in poverty, it will only slow the drowning of the impoverished.
Yes, adding dollars to the economy only increases 'debt'...because all of those extra dollars will end up where the other have, in the pockets of those who already have more than they can spend. (Funny how 'purchasing power' isn't a problem when you control pricing power...)
What the average person has zero control over is how much they get paid.
Worse, if you can't live on what your employer pays you, it's not your employer's problem, it's YOURS!
Broken record, I know. I keep saying it but it seems nobody is paying attention. Worse, you all keep repeating the same actions hoping against hope that this time it will be different.
Which brings us to the next 'truism'...stupid is permanent, ignorance can be fixed. If you truly want a different outcome, logic dictates you MUST do 'something different'.
Just chew on that as the next presidential contest revs up with all the usual suspects.
