PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Actually. If you want to increase wages in a way that actually benefits people the answer is organized labour.
Nope.
Under normal circumstances I would suggest that labor unions could protect their dues paying members from unfair labor practices, etc. But a blue state labor union drives wages WAY higher than the free market would allow. Some companies respond by shutting down plants and moving to the south, to right to work states. Other plants just shut down and move to the Far East.
But in a heavily unionized state, those extra bucks are eaten up in dues (which go primarily to Democrat politicians) and a higher cost of living, as well as HIGHER TAXES.
Inflation going up does eventually result in wage increases
You do not know what inflation is. (Apparently, this forum is a Downs Syndrome ward when it comes to the SIMPLEST economics 101 concepts.)
Inflation can ONLY be caused by government spending. It is defined as TOO MANY DOLLARS CHASING TOO FEW GOODS.
There is this thing called M1. It is the national money supply and a lot of items are indexed to it. (for the idiots who tried to blame the Biden inflation on a mythical "global" inflation) If the money supply increases without a corresponding increase in supply and an expansion of the economy, those dollars lose value.
That's why the Democrats are responsible for the WORST economies of all time. Their monetary knowledge is less than that of a chimp.
The ONLY reason for wages to go up would be the FREE MARKET. If a company is facing competition from another company for workers, the first item would be to COMPETE by offering higher wages. That's one reason why the Reagan economy was so good for workers. BESIDES the record numbers of REAL JOBS the tax cuts created, there were more jobs than workers. Companies HAD to raise salaries just to be able to get workers.
Democrats are GREAT at rescuing big corporations from this by screwing the economy at every turn.
