Rich people create jobs for the middle class.

Re: unpopular opinions thread
(Anonymous) 2014-07-26 01:00 am (UTC)(link)I think we can see, quite clearly at this point, that the interests of the rich are in no way aligned with anything that creates jobs for the middle class (or good jobs for the working class, for that matter). The preferred strategies of the rich are, first, to automate as much as possible, so that functions can be performed with as few actual workers as possible, and second, for what jobs you do need to create, to pay as little as possible and to hold down the condition of the working and middle classes so that they're forced to accept long hours, no benefits, and low pay. Because, obviously, both of those things allow them to cut costs to the bone. Certainly some jobs are created by the rich, but it's the opposite of the aim of their economic choices and the political policies they support.
Re: unpopular opinions thread
(Anonymous) 2014-07-26 01:14 am (UTC)(link)As someone from a rich family, I see this all the time... but I don't think it's fair to blanket blame "the rich" for it. Rich people aren't this asshole monolith that is out to mercilessly squeeze "the poor" for every penny they have.
But corporations are another story. They're definitely are trying to squeeze every penny out of everyone, including the layers of rich people below the top; it's not the people themselves, it's how corporations are structured and how they work. It seems inhuman and unfeeling because it is; corporations aren't people. Structure-wise, there are so many levels of people- rich and middle class both- that have so many levels above them pressuring them to "increase efficiency" and "raise the profit margin" who are forced to do so in order to keep their jobs, that when it gets down to the bottom, the huge demands of everyone above you results in jobs without living wages, no benefits, and awful horrible stuff.
Reality is the opposite of the trickle-down economy.
Calling it a class war, or accusing rich people purposely holding the middle class down, doesn't sound accurate to me. The national manager pressures the regional manager who pressures the area manager who pressures the store manager who pressures the store employees and like 10 other steps on the way, and someone like the regional manager never even notices the details of what is happening on the street-level until it's brought to their attention, because his job isn't to take care of that, it's to make sure the big numbers coming in from the whole area. Their job is to deal with the summary, not the details.
What can we do to fix the system? I don't know. But I do believe that's where the problem is, not with people who are or want to be the regional manager of GenericMart.
And I'm a Democrat, fyi.

(Anonymous) 2014-07-26 01:28 am (UTC)(link)And the people who are the shareholders and the owners are, usually, the rich, the people who control the capital of society. The structures are set up by the rich and they benefit the rich. There's a reason these things have come into existence in the way that they have. There's no destiny that forced them to exist this way. The logic of their structure follows from the interests of the rich.

Re: unpopular opinions thread
Democrats delude people into thinking they have no power over their lives and there is nothing they can do to change their situations and the only they have is to sit around and wait for the welfare check.
Re: unpopular opinions thread
(Anonymous) 2014-07-26 12:52 am (UTC)(link)It's nice that you have some rich friends, but to say 'all you need is hard work to get rich!' when a lot of poor people bust their asses daily for nothing is just insulting.

Re: unpopular opinions thread
The Democrats' major mechanism for getting out the vote isn't welfare offices. It's labor unions. It's working people.
You're repeating a caricature.
And if you heard what they say about voters like you! Well, I'll tell you. I met a young man once, working on a lost-cause campaign in a fire-engine-red district where Democrats would be happy to get 33% of the vote.
He said, people don't realize they're chickens voting for Col. Sanders.
A bit harsh, but not any more inaccurate than what you're saying.

Re: unpopular opinions thread
Honestly, I've admitted to trolling a couple of times and people still fall for it. It's hysterical. Especially once I've had a few.
