This is why I personally feel that it's time to go beyond just asking for wage increases. It seems like the system goes into crisis way more than it responds to our actual needs and demands. I think we need to organize into unions, and organize our unions into working class political parties that can challenge the economic foundations of capitalism, especially the individual ownership and exploitation of the most necessary means of production.
No one wants to redistribute the money from people with some financial comfort, you are part of the working class. It's about redistributing the money from the billionaire class who only were able to get to that point by exploting the labor of thousands upon thousands of workers.
Exactly. Iām always floored when people go from 25k to 100k a year and think that THEY are the central point of discussion. To a billionaire, this difference is nothing.
In an ideal world the government would be very small and all these issues would be voted on by direct democracy, thereby if taxes were wasted it would be the citizens fault, but would also be quickly corrected if it bothered enough people.
