you are right . something must be done. raising wages is a lazy answer. and would only create massive inflation. and fewer jobs. balancing incomes with spending of workers is the answer. how. use tax dollars to provide free utilities, rather than wasting dollars on boggy man wars. spend a trillion to kill the boggy man, and what do you get? spend a trillion on reducing utility bills, and what do you get. reduced expenses forever. /// put the unemployed to work building quality public shelters, that workers could afford. /// look at your cost of living. just think how great it would be if you had no utility bills? past civilizations did it. china moving in that direction. you are correct; the usa system is one that allows you to own everything. with no regard of social harmony. /// if congress is not shut down. usa is headed for a blood bath.
