Small-minded people will always find someone to blame for life’s little issues like the cost of things going up. Rich people are an easy target but rarely to blame.
Two or four (I forget which exactly) years ago the people of my state actually voted to increase the minimum wage without a clue as to how that would affect prices of everything and the people on fixed low incomes because they wouldn’t get a raise. Naturally prices went up, people got their hours cut back or laid off, and the value of a dollar dropped for everyone. Very few saw a benefit from this but everyone felt the downside.
Stupid should hurt.
Hey! You stole my tagline!
