Basic Economics 101: "Trickle-down economics" has never resulted in billionaires spreading their wealth: You're thinking of UNIONS.

@meJess same with mandated minimum wages

@meJess Right. It also means the workers who are better at their jobs don't get rewarded.

Consider teachers. In the UK teachers all get paid the same, they're not judged on individual ability/results. So the good teachers lose out. Clearly there's no motivation to be a good teacher if you won't rewarded - may as well do just enough to get by.

Compare to a billionaire. He/she will reward based on your individual value add. That's the only way to make money.

@JonUK41 so the only way to make money is to work directly for a billionaire, and not for one of their companies. Right…

@JonUK41 DJT has stiffed MANY people he hired to do special work for him.

So no.

@Patriot96 So you seem to be implying that someone working a 60 hour week does not deserve to get paid a colossal $15 an hour for their effort. Odd.
