Oh, really? And just how do they do that? They certainly don't build any. Nor do they pay taxes so that the government may construct and/or repair them.

Who do you think signs the checks at Tesla and Amazon? You do realize that employers actually match the taxes employees pay. Elon and Jeff pay more in taxes in a week than you will pay in your entire life.


Interesting. Desiring a living wage, one that doesn't require government assistance to feed their families, pay their rent, or heat their homes, is the major cause of inflation.

LOL, at no time in history has the low end jobs given anyone what is considered a living wage now.

I will quote again, because it has universal and timeless relevance:

"No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country." ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt

That quote came from a rich guy that was smart enough to know it would make the easily influenced vote for him.

Said bending over: "Thank you sir! May I have another?"
I honestly don't understand your stance on how wages don't directly affect inflation.
