  • That’s not at all what I’m suggesting and this isn’t specific to fascism.

    Greed and unchecked entitlement is what made America what it is today. As long as people can’t see past their own wealth, these problems will continue to perpetuate. This generation is proud to take advantage of others and envies those who get rich off of exploitation.

    Framing it as a culture war instead of a class war helps contribute to the steady decline of America.

    Edit: The fact that you immediately jumped to ‘fascism’ instead of ‘greed’ or the growing disparity in wealth further proves my point that these problems will not be solved in our lifetime. We’re not even looking in the right direction at this point.






  • The people who do the hiring are part of a business’ expenses, not its profit.

    They will still be doing their job like they normally do.

    I assume a company that is allowed to have profit will be able to offer higher wages to be competitive

    Where do they get that money? By charging you and I more than what a product costs to produce and bring to market. If people had higher standards (which they don’t), then they would go to the business that gives them the best deal.

    Right now we live in a culture where people are proud to spend more money even if it’s for a worse product. Everything is backwards regarding personal financial responsibility which is why there is so much excess yet most people still think they “need” more money.
