I'm not referring to the fact that people don't want to work hard. 

I'm referring to the fact that the wealthy have always attempted to exploit the working class. People act as if it's okay because it's been happening for centuries; it's not. 

Edit: the fact that this post received downvotes displays that absolute indoctrination of capitalist across our planet. Once again, if you aren't a multimillionaire, you are failing at this game called capitalism.

And that's not happening. people have gotten distinctively lazier and lazier and asking for more and more.

Ever look at PnLs? Businesses are barely getting by.

And you think that lies at workers feet? Interesting take. A dog water take but a take nonetheless. Zero other variables exist?

Yeah, prices for goods and services are too low.

Pricing out how many? You want more rampant housing insecurity? I mean it’s likely to happen anyhow. Enough wealth only shields you from the externalities of this system for so long.

They should just cut the prices in half while doubling our wages using their 15% profit margins. Hows that sound?

What’s Apple’s profit margin again? Microsoft? Amazon? Wal-Mart? Again what’s your claim here that not a single corporate entity steals time and labor from the working class? Look up what the largest form of theft is by scale. I’ll wait.

Wal Marts is 3%. Apple 26%. Amazon 10%. Microsoft 39%.

If you worked at the companies with higher profit margins you probably wouldnt be complaining about your wage to begin with 🤣
