$80k a year now isn’t even enough for a good life anymore
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2fzOZoZXxA&t=159">2:39</a> Credit to CNN for not burying their heads in the sand about the income inequality crisis this time and giving it coverage.
How the trickle-down economic working out for ya? Did the CEOs spend their money on the local barber shop or local grocery store or the local car dealership?
.This is what Republicans voted for why are we shocked?This is what it is
America, the GOP came armed with more lies, like the 5k. They cry to you' give us a chance"...( Have they listened to your cry?) Did they listened to Renee Good, and Alex Pretti?
a good ceo = a healthy company and jobs and success in the society in which it resides.<br>aka jensen.
The US has many millions of small business owners who are worth many millions of dollars. Taxing these people properly is long overdue!
We know exactly why, and economists have known this since the 1920's. When you lower taxes on the rich, they hoard more money and they hire fewer people. This is common sense greed.<br><br>If you are taxed at 90% over a million dollars, like from the 1940's to 1970's, you can't keep the extra money. It goes to the government. So what do you do...? Hire more workers and they get the extra money. Your business thrives and you sell more goods.<br><br>When you can keep more money, you fire workers faster and hoard the wealth you keep by not paying them. This is what drove the Great Depression. 1+1=2.
The alarm is sounding on this subject so much lately, not because the powers that be care, but because they fear they are reaching the potential boiling point of the populace.<br><br>The Gilded Age ended in part due to strategic concessions from the robber barons who realized it was better to be regulated by a "moderate" regulatory body, rather than the people eventually reaching more radical decisions.
Too many Congressional 'recesses' is what Congress is taking to avoid doing the jobs they were paid for... from our hard-earned tax dollars that are supposed to help 'us all'... not the very rich who pay hardly any taxes in comparison. <br>That can't be placed 'solely' on their laps since 'our government' tax structure has allowed it. We need to change the tax codes through government.<br><br>Like Mr. Buffet once said about what his secretary paid out in taxes... in comparison to the wealthy, was the truth coming from a wealthy man, that knows how unjust and uncaring the ultra rich are to the rest of the population.<br><br>May God forgive them for they know 'not' what they are doing and that is coming from someone who is not overly religious but felt it had to be said! 🤔🕊️🇺🇸🕊️🥀
More "cheap" homes would reduce cost. Every home I've seen produced is an HOA in a luxury neighborhood. I need affordable housing not high end housing!!
CEO's salary goes up every year, why wasn't the worker included? "It's only included to be replaced by AI" These is a winning subject for Dems. No human wants to be absolete. Come on Dems be fire up! Save society from the greedy, who never have enough
My question is what is the plan to fix this? Seriously I hear nothing but complaining and zero solutions
From 1933 until the 1980's we taxed the richest at high rates 89-70% with effective rates of 55%. Through the progressive tax code we funneled money to the working and middle classes which created a virtuous economic cycle that expanded the economy and secured and expanded a broad middle class. Also up until the 80's wages rose along with productivity. Everyone benefited and there was capitalist incentives along with social cohesion and yes still rich people. Why did the British Empire disappear? The average Brit didn't care about it anymore. That's what is going to happen to the USA if we don't change dramatically and quickly.
This should piss off every American who has put in 40 hour shifts for shit pay over the last 20 years
I can vouch for cnn . CNN has been very pro-Trump . They have never dared to go into detail about extremely unfavorable topics like his being mentioned in the Epstein files about 38,000 times . But yet Trump had banned cnn from the White House ????
"From 1978 to the present, the cumulative inflation rate in the United States has been approximately 413.72%, meaning prices are 5.1 times higher than they were in 1978". So we are making 28% more but paying 413% more? Time for a revolt. Make them use those bunkers they're building!
Three group put the world where it is today. Religion, women and money.
Just gross!
And honestly if apartments didn't tac on extra fucking fees I could be able to afford way way more. Like I just called some apartments. And I was asking about the extra fees they have added $75 for wifi, so I asked "if I have my own wifi, can I take that fee off" and they stated no it's mandatory. And I get free wifi at that. Like why TF do I need to pay for wifi if I'm have my own..so I'm still looking. Valet trash fees piss me off too, cause I can take my own fucking trash out. Admin fees, application fees are too fucking expensive!
It’s easy. Greed
Because the rich are willing to pay someone handsomely to figure out how too snub the customer.
I split my gross annual income with my employee's 50/50, if they need extra money to cover bills, I'm there for them...THAT is how a CEO should be.
CEO salaries need to be capped
CEO stands for Cutting Employees Out! They don’t DGAF about employees only so far as helping them get richer. That’s why as soon as they’ve gotten a handle on AI, the layoffs became exponential and counting. Some have even flat out voiced that they don’t need as many workers and are planning a slew more layoffs. But what CEO’s forget is their products are purchased and utilized by HUMANS, not robots! Humans need a paycheck to afford the ish ya making so, guess what? Something’s gotta give. 💯
We need income and wealth ceiling, like min wage their should be maximum wage and wealth level. Once you make up to that level you should be given special honour and made to retire or work as volunteer and you have more than enough money to “survive” on this planet for rest of your life. 🤔
How much has the cost of living increased?
We should rid ourselves of all these rich scoundrels, then we could all walk off into the sunset and live happily ever after
They could suffer.
😘👍
Those Greedy Devils are never satisfied with anything they have no limits like a bottomless pit.
I remember when a salary of $80,000 a year led to a comfortable life, not anymore!
Wage Theft is the term you are looking for. America is getting robbed
Making bilions or trillions, so why are workers struggling to pay basics!!! We're not talking about buying new Porsche, we talking about food & Mortgage, child care....This is the problem- Richest are getting richer, as poorer getting more poorer.
So the ratio has been the same for 25 years? Real riveting stuff.
Weird I don't remember these stories when Joe Biden gave us 21% cumulative inflation😅
trickle down, right?
You leave this out though - in 2010: 8 million millionaires. Today ? 25 million millionaires. We have 41% of the WORLDS millionaires
Too bad cnn is fake news… this must be a fake story? Let’s ask Trump, he knows…
I love inflation, my workers love it too! Makes me so happy! I love paying less in purchasing power but paying the same. Hehehe. So good
SO INCREASE THE MINIMUM WAGE !!
They deserve it! They work 365 days a week. They literally work 500 hours every hour. It’s very impressive. Jack Welch is the genius that made GE the amazing piece of shit it is! Same with Boeing! Wow, geniuses! Legacy of working 10% harder every second!
And your ratings are lower than MSNBC😅😅
Getting richer and not paying taxes or supporting democracy
Y'know what will make America truly great again? Taxing the shit out of CEOs and billionaires.
🚨 National average for a gallon of gas skyrockets to $4.47!!! The midterms will not be kind to MAGA.
Overvaluation and overindulgence.
Getting richer and not paying taxes or supporting democracy.
It’s always been like that the CEOs are extremely rich and their workers are extremely poor. Nothing new here.
