But it is true, what part of "under Capitalism if an employee wants better wage they just re-lean new skills and gets a better job" you do not understand? That understanding is lost to communist.

But I don't think people who do the bare minimum should be paid a livable wage, I do think people who work hard should be paid a decent wage. An issue I'm trying to address is employers who don't pay workers a decent wage despite the workers doing an honest day's work. It's also very hypocritical of you to claim the Republican party are party of the blue collar worker but then respond with "ok commie" to the worker who dares to stand up for themself, you are really proving the Republican party to be elitist scum. And calling everyone you disagree a commie is not any sort of argument, you're just being an arrogant douchebag. I used to naively think the left were the only ones who were petty assholes while conservatives were the ones who were rational and civil but I've learned right can be just as petty and uncivil as the left.

What you think is irrelevant, and that is where your understanding is wrong, not all wages are livable wages, that will be moronic to believe that. Market, and market alone determines your worth. I also think is very foolish of you to put words in my mouth, I have not made a single comment about republican party, but then, there you go... I call you for what you are, and you are a commie unless you start grasping those principles I am giving you. You are just salty because I proved you wrong and schooled you.

No, you did not "prove me wrong" or "school me" and your calling me a commie not because I am one (which I'm not) you are just being an arrogant self-righteous douchebag who refuses to make a distinction between someone who is an actual communist and a person who merely addresses a legitimate issue, you're making absurd conflations and proving yourself to not be any better than nazi slippery slope argument making left. You rightists claim to be for free discussion in the marketplace of ideologies yet you shout down anyone to the left of Ayn Rand as a communist. I don't adhere to extremist ideologies like Marxism or even "democratic socialism" so you have no grounds to call me such. Merely addressing issues of being able to afford to make ends meet isn't a matter of far-left extremism. Labor unions have a right to bargain with their employers and reach an agreement and that's not some "Marxist principle" there are plenty of first world nations that allow unions to bargain with their employers and be paid a living wage and they aren't at all communist dictatorships, they are free market economies that are more free market than America, in fact Finland left the totalitarian USSR to become its own free and independent nation and as a result it always had a much better quality of life than the communist dictatorship of the USSR and a much better qualify of life than post-soviet Russia will ever have for Russia is still suffering the effects of communism. I also think unions negotiating with their employer is a good way of determining one's wages in the free market rather than a state enforced minimum wage.

Which issue are you trying to address other than victimizing and putting guild for employee who is being oppressed by corporate greed? Ohhh poor employee. Well, poor employee has choices right? Clearly he is not smart enough to take them. Also, there is not one single example you can provide where unions has benefited the workers. Unions have proven to get things worse for workers, people should be able to negotiate their salaries right before they take the darn job. Good that you know Ayn Rand, and you may be familiar with what she teaches, because me and her both came from a country where we lived the effects of communism, yet you keep calling me far right, because you can only see things black and white, it is either republican and democrat and there are extremes, I think it is sad that you do not consider libertarians. I also think it is sad you did not got to live, and experience, communism like I did. If you did, you will not be posting garbage memes like that.

I didn't call you "far-right" you're putting words in my mouth and it's awfully rich of you to accuse me of "seeing things black and white" when you are showing me that that's the way you see thing when you think anyone who adheres to libertarian ancap ideology like you as the only ones with a right opinion and you view anyone who isn't a libertarian ancap as 'wrong' and a 'communist'. Even if I did live under an oppressive communist regime, I still wouldn't be conflate merely wanting to be paid enough to live after an honest day's work with adhering to communist ideology. I did consider libertarians and I thought they did make a good point in addressing issues of big government badly affecting our freedom but when it comes to non-governmental factors that affect our freedom such as employers not paying the worker enough, they are very against addressing such issues and have this biased, un-nuanced view of thinking government is the only thing can affect people's freedom and thinking addressing such issues and advocating for any sort of government policy to address such specific issues is literally the same thing as supporting communism and totalitarian big government control over everything, a view that is just as biased as communists thinking big government control is the solution to everything. After seeing how libertarians have no respect for the blue collar worker and think everything that isn't unfettered free market is communism and accusing anyone who doesn't think like them of being a communist, they prove themselves to be nothing but a bunch of right-wing partisan hacks like the Republicans.

And do not say unions to bargain for better wages, I already debunk that when I stated that the bargaining is at the moment before the person takes the job. Because why is someone going to take a job that does not pay them enough for their skill set, that sounds just ridiculous. You do not need a 3rd party to bargain wages (again unions have proven to do more wrong than good). I want a solid answer, how do you combat corporate greed?

And let me throw you a bonus. the poorest person in United lives much better than the average person all around the globe, they make too much money. Problem is that those people complaining about not having livable wave 1. Do not want to make any efforts to fix that 2. They overspend more than they make, they gotto have gold rims in their low rider shitty car, tattoos, drink beer and soda because water is not good enough. They have to smoke cigarettes, have a nice big color TV, dogs and cats and complain they can't pay for their kids while getting themselves in deep in credit debt they can't get out of.

You are assuming everyone who is poor irresponsibly spends their money on frivolous things like gold rimmed cars, giant TV screens, etc. That's gotta be the most flawed argument you made, not only because assuming everyone's spending habits is obviously something you pulled out of your ass but also because assuming everyone in America can afford every expensive luxury is the most ridiculous assumption. And you don't take even 2 seconds to rethink your ridiculous made-up assumptions and realize how ridiculous your assumptions are. Do you really think the average fast food worker, welder or even office stiff can afford expensive luxuries like gold plated low riders and tattoos? And even if they could, I don't think the average fast food worker, welder or office stiff into things like gold plated low riders or tattoos. And given how expensive rent is these days, it's pretty obvious where almost all of people's income is spent on and people naturally wouldn't spend their income on something frivolous before having their rent paid. Given how the average poor person can only basically afford their rent and some food, you don't have ground to make the assumption "the average poor person makes too much money" Also the only person I imagine would have such unique tastes as a gold plated low rider is a pimp, in fact a pimp's income is the usually the kind that can afford something as expensive as a gold plated low rider.

Just ask how people in other countries make it with a lot less. Fast food wages were never intended to be living wages, that is high school/college kids jobs, people that are not skilled, lack experience, and uneducated. It is called reality, the majority of the people in America overspend, look up what the average American household credit debt is. I guarantee you they all have a color TV. I also noticed that you have not given me one solid argument to my debate, which I have come to you in different angles, all you have done is call me all sorts of bad words and say some of the most dumb things I ever heard without being able to back up your claim. Just admit it, you are a commie.

Go you hell you arrogant prick, I am not a communist and I am not gonna stand for you falsely accusing me of being something I'm not anymore than I'm gonna stand for shitty asshole leftists like PragerUwU and Octavia_Melody accusing me of being a 'nazi' and a 'racist'. And only reason why you arrogantly call everything a say 'dumb' is because you are way too arrogant and self-righteous to admit you are proven wrong.

Strawmanning and accusing anyone you disagree with a communist, always the best argument against anything. When the left calls their opponent a nazi that always seems to work so why not take a page out of their book and compare your opponent to a communist.

Seriously, you are being a strawmanning asshole with a bullshit slipperyslope argument. You are really not any better than leftists who call everyone they disagree with a nazi. You would definitely cry foul over a leftist strawmanning you and make "fascist pipeline" arguments so maybe you should stop bringing yourself to their level.

I guess that is what I get for exposing your crappy commie argument you can't defend.
