It's some imagination if you believe that handouts, tax cuts and subsidies to large corporations trickle down to you.

We're like ants feeding the oligarchs.
That ⬆️

Don’t understand you, are you alluding to rich people who own factories, and make all the money, while paying us on the assembly lines? I hope you are . Could you explain that in a realistic way. Where is the fault in that, if that is what you mean.
You still believe in trickle down economics, a phenomenon observed in the wild fewer times than bigfoot.

Pay distribution needs to give a little more to the real workers.
Are you telling me a CEO who makes 10 million a year will be affected if he only made 8 million and the other 2 million went to the workers?

How much money do you need?

Aren't hydrogen batteries essentially bombs?
I seem to remember reading about how dangerous they are or I'm mixing it with something else. 🤔

Google this: 80% of millionaires inherited ZERO. So, you need to round out and properly close your post.
We're more concerned about the billionaires nowadays.

“Pay distribution needs to give a little bit more to our workers “. I hear you, but you say ‘pay distribution ‘ as if it is an existing concept. Tell us how such a concept could be established. I want to invest a few million in a widget factory, but what would you say to me as I start hiring?

@AverageJoe1

I'm the CEO.

I got paid 5 million last year and the same during the last 3 previous years.
That is my profit/salary...

Why couldn't he rake in 3 million as pay and help out the workers with the other 2 million?

Once your expenses are covered it's all profits.
So why don't they give to the real ones who made that success?

Like I said before...
You can have all the money in the world but if the workers don't work for you you make nothing.

Those same workers could do it without Johnny Businessman.

You invest.
Get it going.
Cover your expenses.
Make a profit.
Then maintain your life while giving to the real workers.

It's not rocket science. Everyone benefits.

@AThousandYoung said - "You are mistaken about how "overwhelming" the CA Dem vote is."
----------------------------


Really?!

California's two US Senators - both Democrat (Feinstein/Padila).
California's 52 US Representatives: 40 Democrat, 12 Republican.
California's Governor: Democrat

Not exactly sure where you are coming from, ATY, California is highly Democrat
We're talking about passing laws inside of the State of California. The two Senators and 52 House members are Federal not State and the Governor has nothing to do with passing laws. Governors are the State version of Presidents; laws in CA are passed by direct democracy i.e. everyone votes on every law.

"I'm the CEO". I take risk, create a business and all that that entails. Every person I hire I tell, "I am going to pay you an unbelievable salary, thousands, maybe $200k a year to pack these amazon boxes". "I am just by golly going to pay you a whole lot more many than realistic for this job."

All libs are pollyannas.

Y'all complaining about workers not showing up so stop complaining about south americans showing up to work. Pay better or deal with migration and whites living on welfare. Your choice. 🤷

The only real issue is how much of the millions of profits are business owners willing to spread around or not.

Nobody with 50 million is happier than a guy with 10 million. You can only buy so much and It would be sad to realize the women are only there because of the money.

Your last paragraph……be real. A yacht can cost $10M or a nicer one $50M. So rich guy is on way to the yacht factory, to get the biggest and best, but a govt agent says no, you cannot buy the $50M.
Is this the crux of what you are saying?

No...not at all...

I'm talking about yearly salary.

Nobody is worth multi millions a year when the real workers are doing the work.

Don't you worry. As Americans become more communist...your profits over the well being of the workers will end.
