“give America a raise”
The operative word here of course is the word “GIVE”, not earn, but GIVE! Marxists are never talk about EARNING money, but always about GIVING money - giving SOMEONE else’s money!
But suppose Obama does succeed with his fascist tactics to extort certain companies into GIVING certain employees more money, wouldn’t there be consequences? Why yes; yes, there WOULD be consequences!
For instance:
1. The cost of goods and services would increase, and the GIVING businesses would be forced to raise their prices or go bankrupt. The rest of us not so lucky to be GIVEN a raise would have to pay those higher prices, so GIVING some more money to some means less for the rest of us, i.e., earnings redistribution, i.e., Marxism.
2. But worse, GIVING certain employees more money would simply be another incentive to offshore even MORE manufacturing jobs to countries where employees EARN their money rather than have it GIVEN to them. This mean even more job losses in the U.S., so not only would those losing their jobs not be GIVEN more money, they wouldn’t even be EARNING any money at all either!
Now I know the above is exceedingly complicated for the Marxists running our economy right now to understand, and I don’t even expect them to ever understand such complicated economics. But it would be nice if enough voters figured this out and quit electing Marxists, because if they don’t the Marxist will soon run out of other peoples’ money (even with printing an infinite supply of it) and the whole thing is going to come crashing down around our ears.
Just wonderin’, but maybe someone could suggest we give the military a “living wage”? Oh, I forgot. The military gets “free” clothes, “free” lodging, “free” food, “free” medical. Do they “earn” it? Uh, yeah. On call 365/24/7. I’m sure there’s more than one out there that served in the military and remembers struggling. Too much month at the end of the money. Thanks vets and active duty folks. A lot!
P.S. We all know there are cush jobs in the mil but there are a lot of jobs in the mil that suck. A lot.
