And that’s what I appreciates about yous

They don’t fly, that’s for plebs. They teleport

I mean, if it’s gonna happen, what better way than on a giant tube full of screaming people freaking out for the last few moments of my life?

So what you’re saying is, I should exclusively fly on Boeing planes?

Oh man… I want to say yes, but then what happens if the plane needs to do an emergency water landing afterwards… or would that be an emergency watering??? I can’t handle this stress!!!

I think even if it hits and explodes, as long as it’s on land and not water that qualifies.

I fear no man… but that… thing… scares the hell out of me

Well son, it’s better to regret something you have done than something you havent…

This is false. That’s clearly not Tupac.

My point, while you could argue is defeatist, is realistic. You’ve clearly seen too many movies and TV shows where the little guy takes down the big, bad, evil corporation. There’s too much money involved and too many politicians with their hands out.

To your first “point”, any increase in the minimum wage will most definitely increase the amount it’s earners pay, as it’s a percentage, not a static amount, I assume you know how that works. As prices inevitably increase due to more cash chasing the same goods, the earning power of the wage increase actually decreases. This is known as “inflation”. But I’m going to go ahead an d guess you know that too, but are either purposefully being disingenuous or truly have a pollyannish utopian view of how a Keynesian economy would actually work. While I realize I’m taking a bit of a leap, the way you’re arguing that an across the board increase for entry level jobs while also placing crippling taxes on those who employ them would actually work, I think it’s a pretty safe bet.

The cold, hard fact that we need to come to terms with is the United Sraes economic system is based on capitalism. The money involved is incomprehensible and the power it affords those who have it is even more so. So feel free, fight your fight, I wish you luck. I’ll do my best to enjoy what happiness I’m able to find in the real world.

…so lower income earners can get bumped up into a higher tax bracket?

Small employer, where they will actually feel this, sure. Might work. Might put them under too, but that doesn’t matter since corporations do their best to crush the little guy. And for them, when you multiply that “just a dollar” by the number of hours worked, across all employees, and the bigger bumps that executives will then demand, that shows up as red on next year’s ledger. And once again, hours get slashed, benefits get cut, jobs get lost to automation…

The ripple effects of taxing companies, increasing labor costs, and the costs of compliance and litigation, real or frivolous all wind up hurting the little guy. You seem to think a corporation will just take it and move along with their tail between their legs, but they don’t. They always find a way around it, through all the things I’ve already stated. And throw in legal tax loopholes, lobbying and subsidies.
