Income inequality isn’t a real issue

As long as all working parties gets paid for what they do what’s the actual problem? I’m sick of liberals out there crying that their bosses are making it big as millionaires and billionaires while they are making a wage that fits with job they do.
Intellectual arguments please. Name calling isn’t polite.

    I had to convince my boss to give me a raise to 10.50 and I'm being trained as a manager and doing the job of one. My other coworker has litterally zero experince and my boss hired him in at 10.50. I have yet to see the raise. Been waiting 4 months now. And as soon as i get it supposedly in 2 weeks I gotta ask him for another befitting my position. So you tell me if that's equality or not

    • Your problem isn’t that your boss is making more your problem is with other employees getting paid the same. 10.50 per hour so I’m going to assume food service. And your boss is either the head manager or the branch manager. bring it up with your manager and ask if you are getting paid for the extra responsibility.

        I'm not getting paid the extra amount. I'm a manager hete and I have substantial experince. I'm not an idiot. My coworker gets paid the same as me with no previous experince and I litterally single handedly run half the store. And have substantial experince in my field. It's not a matter of what my boss makes it's a matter of what a man makes with no experince over a woman with alot who also outtamks said man. And till i get that raise and back pay I'm getting paid less than him. That's not equality. Not in the least bit

          You can work to the level of your pay if you can't quit. Do the same amount/level of work as the inexperienced coworker until you are compensated.

        • Then quit then, find a job willing to pay you for your experience. If not then find a way to sort it out. These kinds of things happen, c’est la vie.

            • Then you did all you could on this matter. The post is originally about income inequality as it pertains to bitching on the difference on pay because of hierarchical rank in a company.

              You are talking about pay inequality as it pertains to the gender wage gap. Something that has been fixed on a grand scale. You are just facing a 1v1 personal pay problem. If the company is deliberately paying you less because of exclusivity gender then you have a case.

    There's no reason for billionaires to exist.

    If you actually have any brains in your head, you can figure out how to make money. Stupid liberals think their bosses owe them something and they should be given sacks of money on a silver platter, cause inequality and racism...
    I've fired an employee over this. If they can't get over the fact I'm their boss, so I make more money, they can play in traffic.
    There is a thing called hierarchy...
    It exists in companies, governments, military, etc...
    The higher up the ladder you go, the more money you earn.

  • Anybody can climb the ladder if they find a ladder to climb.

      • Or get a hand me down. Go 50/50 with a friend. So many options.

    I see nothing inherently wrong with the existence of wealthy people. As long as they got to what they did fairly, by being ethical businessmen and businesswomen. Not if they are making large profits by screwing people over.

    First off, all workers need to be paid a wage that they can support themselves on. Yes, minimum wages and entry level wages have been raised in some places to be high enough that it's enough to live off of.

    But this is not the case in all areas of the country. That's an obvious problem to me. Billionaires/millionaires who are running companies should not be allowed to pay their workers wages that they cannot live off of.

    Also, the billionaires/millionaires need to always pay their fair share of taxes. And those tax dollars need to be spent properly and be directed at ensuring an adequate social safety net for all citizens (e.g. people who are homeless, lack private health insurance, job programs for people who are unemployed, etc.) along with covering basic governmental functions, such as emergency services and the courts.

    If the rich are able to pay their workers fair/living wages and pay their fair share of properly spent taxes while remaining rich, then I see no problem with the amount of money they have. As long as everyone has the resources that they need and the rich are not taking away financial resources that other people need, I have no issue with rich people.

    It's greed that's the problem to me. But I agree, if someone is wealthy through being an ethical business owner or investor, I have absolutely no problem with them. In fact, the world needs highly successful people.

    P.S.

    And yes, if someone is taking advantage of government services and REFUSING to find employment then they should not continue to be given government benefits. Assuming one is not mentally or physically disabled, they should contribute to society by being employed.

    It will become a problem when the workers decide it is, not the media.

    If a boss makes 1 million a year and the workers make $25 an hour the boss makes in 2 hours, what the worker makes in a week.

    If you think that's justifiable, go on the shop floor and yell "let them eat cake."

    See how it turns out for you.
