Have you been the guy on the bottom? Did your employees go to college also? Didn't they have student loans?

Listen to this, HALF of America makes less than 28k/yr. That is a whopping $2,333/mo before the SS and any taxes get taken out of their checks. This isn't the bottom of the barrel, this is the most that the people in the bottom 50% make. These people are actually making more than double the minimum wage ($13.46/hr). Starting at 28k, they have 10% taken by the govt. That leaves them with 2100.

Subtract:
Housing - 400 for a shithole
Electricity - 80
Phone - 30
Health insurance - 400 for a family of four
Car - 150 for a POS car
Car insurance - 80
Gas - 120

That's most of the basics for a shitty place to live and a shitty car. Total $1260. These people have $840 left to eat and buy clothes for the whole fucking month. Assuming they go naked, they have $28 a day to feed 4 people 3 meals per day. That's $2.33/meal/person/day. That won't even buy you a fucking happy meal.

Now, who are the people who are running the places where the bottom 50% works? It's the top 5%. They only way for them to be in that top 5% is for them to pay their worker bees shit wages or for the govt to step in and take more tax money from the employers and less from the workers. The govt also provides assistance to those that cannot afford housing, education, food, and health care because their employers are not paying them enough to afford those things.

You can say that if the rich made more they'd give more to the workers but it isn't true. CEO salaries have risen drastically while common worker wages have remained the same. The CEO's are making more and they haven't given the workers any more than the workers used to get.
