he thinks he can buy all that but wants to keep you right where you are does he feel threatened by our potential wealth competition???????????????????
On Meet the Press Donald Trump sees no problem with increasing inequality in this country. The working poor, is a group that is neglected by Trump and it ilk except to use as a prop to use in their attacks on undocumented immigrants and now even their children who are US citizens.
Todd asks the question "what is a fair living wage?" and Trump gives on a long rambling answer with some tangents that Todd follows him down, without answering the question. Trump says he has it on good authority from other 0.01%ers that American wages are too high. Todd then repeats the original question.
"Todd: OK going back what is a fair living wage? What's fair?"
Trump: "I want to keep the minimum wage pretty much where it is right now, because of the fact" (that rich people aren't rich enough) "this country is competing more than ever before because of airplanes and transportation and the internet."
Todd: "So you think we got to keep then Minimum Wage lower?"
Trump: "Well I want to compete with the rest of the world. I want to compete with the rest of the world. What I do want to do is bring in jobs so much so that people don't have to live in on the minimum wage. But we are going to have to compete with the rest of the world."
This a a dismissive nonsense answer. Trump is saying that the working poor don't matter. That they should compete with workers in Bangladesh or wherever by lowering their standard of living. That employers should be able to pay their workers less and less as the minimum wage continues to lose ground to increases in the cost of living. Trump's idea of Social Justice is watching out for other billionaires.
this is why i said that very rich should no longer be the ruling bodies they will never vote on anything that would lower their bank account such as fair wage, healthcare, social programs so poor Americans can eat. we need to stay away from republicans because that is their agenda rich or not.
i don't remember a Dem president who voted against all the above could have been but i don't recall one. we are not seen as a problem wanting fair pay and healthcare as long as one of them is in office because they are not going to vote for it or even bring it to the floor that is why we need to vote in the off season elections house and senate seats make adifference if the opposition is not on your side.
