No I do not favor welfare. I favor work. WHy would someone want to live off welfare?! I don't know why conservatives think people would want to live like that, its like slavery.
I'm not for wage controls, I'm just giving you some ideas. There are ways to control wages through the market as well. You see we the workers can influence our wages by simply refusing to work for companies which pay low wages and by refusing to by from them. The problem is the majority of my peers are idiots and shop at places because its cheap instead of based on how these places treat their labor force.
I'm a Democrat as in power to the individual worker over the corporation. I'm not a liberal in that I don't actually favor welfare, abortion, or however you are defining liberal. I'm a social liberal in that I think minorities and women arent being treated fairly.
I don't feel entitled to share the wealth with the rich, I feel like taking my share of the wealth. I don't expect it to be given. This means boycotting companies which treat workers like crap, which outsource and cause America to lose its best jobs, and by working for businesses which do treat workers right.
The market can be controlled by the consumers as well as by the employer, and as consumers gather more data on how companies are run, who is running them and how to influence them then through will alone wages will be made higher. Take Walmart for example, which pays employees low wages, instead of buying from Walmart we could boycott Walmart along with a list of companies which treat workers bad. Communities could refuse to allow Walmart to expand in favor of companies which benefit the local community.
Salaries and wages influence how consumers view a company, at least educated consumers. I'm not concerned with the style of regulation. Either the government will regulate the economy or the people will.
Instead of focusing on the method as to which we raise wages, lets discuss the conservative ways of raising wages. This may mean employees rating their boss, company, and environment and creating a do not shop at list or a do not buy list. While not all communities will do this, the communities which refuse to buy from companies which arent socially responsible won't have those businesses in their community.
I'd like you comments on my new ideas and I'd like to hear some ideas of your own on how workers can actually earn an honest living.
Who isn't anti-corruption? Just don't confuse that with anti-corporation.
When it comes to America FIRST, there are plenty of corporations that sellout against America's conservative ideals. Conservatives boycott too. What you are talking about is more what UNIONS do. The unions are dead (in current form) in the era of globalization. The fail because they are corrupt. Reforming Unions based on collective bargaining may what you are looking for. But again you will have to realize the situation America is in has been caused in large part by the UNIONS.
Wonder why America can't compete in the global economy? Because the UNIONS demand that a worker "earn" twenty bucks an hour that should cost ten dollars an hour. The company either fails or ships overseas....Guess what? You may be disheartened to find out America is going have to lower her standard of living.
